Objective To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of middle-aged and elderly people with hypertension in Enshi, China, and to explore the important correlates defining HRQoL. Methods From April through July 2018, a self-monitoring intervention program for hypertension control was implemented in a remote area of central China. Participants completed a cross-sectional survey which included demographic characteristics, the Health-related Quality of Life Survey, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Survey. Univariate analysis was performed by analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of HRQoL in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients. In the multivariate analysis, the variables with P≤0.05 in the single factor analysis were combined with the professional significance to establish a multiple linear regression model. Results Information from 500 participants was available for analysis. Among them, the scores of PCS and MCS was 31.66 ± 9.50 and 41.38 ± 10.69, respectively. Multivariable regression analyses showed that higher education and sleep quality, and moderate physical activity (30 minutes for at least five days a week) had a positive influence on PCS scores. Higher monthly family income (3,000–5,000 ¥) and sleep quality, regular tea-drinking, having 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five days a week were positively associated with MCS scores. Conclusion The overall HRQoL for rural middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients in Xuan’en county of Hubei province was poor. Effective relevant measures for the above factors were urgently needed to improve the quality of life for the elderly in rural areas. Awareness of these relevant factors could help health care professionals provide better supportive care.

Purpose Inadequate research on midlife health-related quality of life particularly in low-and-middle-income countries has often led to poor recognition of the issues in health programmes and policy. To address these concerns, this study was aimed at examining health-related quality of life and its determinants in middle-aged (45–59 years) men and women in low-resource settings in India. Methods Data on health-related quality of life and other relevant parameters were collected from 1112 individuals between 45 and 59 years of age from an urban agglomeration of Pune, India. Independent t-test was used to determine the association between means of Short Form-12 and other variables. Multilinear regression analyses were conducted to study the direction of these associations. Results The mean physical and mental component scores were 45.33 (±8.88) and 51.48 (±9.87), respectively. After adjusting for other variables, functional impairment emerged as a common factor that was negatively associated with physical and mental component scores of men (PCS: −5.557, 95%CI = −6.793 to −4.322; MCS:−1.816, 95% CI = −3.443 to −0.189) and women (PCS: −7.985, 95%CI = −9.782 to −6.188; MCS;  = −2.289, 95% CI = −4.160–0.419). Good life satisfaction was positively associated with physical scores in men (2.300, 95%CI =  1.180 to 3.421) and mental scores in women (3.066, 95%CI  =  1.333 to 4.798). Unemployment, sitting hours (>3) and no physical activity affected men, while lower education, marital status, body mass index and chronic illness affected health-related quality of life of women at midlife. Conclusions Functional decline, level of life satisfaction and stress affected health-related quality of life of middle-aged individuals in India.
