Gender differences in quality of life and contributions of biopsychosocial factors
Older women reported better general health but poorer quality of life than men in most domains. These gender differences were largely attributable to pain and depressive symptoms, both of which are common and modifiable. Targeted management of these symptoms may improve quality of life and reduce gender disparities in later life.
