| Annotation | The differences in basic attributes, health promotion behaviours and quality of life between older men and women in Taiwan were compared. Several scales were used to examine the gender differences and the factors associated with quality of life. Regression analysis revealed that gender, education level, depression level and healthy diet were key factors influencing the overall quality of life. The education level of women was lower, and their depression level was higher; however, they had healthier diets. With regards to their satisfaction with quality of life, older men scored higher than women in both the physical and psychological domains. (RH). |
