Unlocking the potential for the quality of life in older adults from Kazakhstan during the COVID-19 pandemic: modeling study on gender and place of residency and associated factors
Our findings suggested that various sociodemographic and health-related factors influence QoL in older adults. Furthermore, this study showed gender- and place of residence-differentiated predictors of QoL. These results call for gender and place-of-residence-responsive healthcare provision and community support services.
