| Annotation | In this cross-sectional study, the authors tested the relationship between sociophysical environment, quality of life (QOL), and perceived social support among older people in Iran. The sample includes 128 participants recruited in the city of Shahrekord, Iran. The authors measured Evaluation of Older People Living Environment (EVOLVE); Control, Autonomy, Self-realization and Pleasure scale (CASP-19) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) tools respectively, through home-based observation and interview. A significant relationship was found between several domains of home environment, QOL and perceived social support. The interaction effect of the home environment and gender in relation to QOL and perceived social support was statistically significant. The results support the notion that the home physical environment may not be considered a strong predictor of QOL among the Iranian older people. (RH). |
