Abstract：
The aim of this study was to determine the correlates of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in community-dwelling older adults in Guadeloupe.
We used the Karukera Study of Aging-Drugs Storage (KASADS), an observational, cross-sectional study on community-dwelling older people living in Guadeloupe. A visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to 100 was used to assess HRQoL.
The study sample consisted of 115 patients aged 65 years or older; 67.8% were women. Participants were 76 (±7.8) years old with a mean HRQoL of 66.2 (±20.3). The correlates of HRQoL were complaints of pain (p < 0.001) and IADL dependency (p = 0.030) after adjustment. We found no significant interactions between HRQoL and other variables such as marital status, socio-educational level and cognitive decline.
Pain and IADL dependency were independently associated with lower HRQoL in community-dwelling older people in Guadeloupe.

摘要：
目的：本研究的目的是确定瓜德罗普岛社区老年人与健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）的相关性。
方法：我们使用了Karukera衰老药物储存研究（KASADS），一个观察,对居住在瓜德罗普岛的社区居住老年人的横断面研究。使用0至100的视觉模拟量表来评估HRQoL。
结果：研究样本包括115名65岁或以上的患者；67.8%为女性。参与者为76（±7.8）岁，平均HRQoL为66.2（±20.3）。HRQoL的相关性是调整后的疼痛（p<0.001）和IADL依赖性（p=0.030）。我们发现HRQoL和其他变量如婚姻状况之间没有显著的相互作用，社会教育水平和认知能力下降。
结论：在瓜德罗普岛社区居住的老年人中，疼痛和IADL依赖性与较低的HRQoL独立相关。
