The Quality of Life of Seniors Hospitalized Due to Cardiovascular Diseases in Poland

Abstract

The significant demographic, social and socio-medical factors that determined respondents' quality of life were: age, gender, marital status, education and health situation. The analysis of quality of life according to the SF36v2 Questionnaire showed that the study group functioned better in the mental dimension (MCS-mental component summary, overall mental health) than in the physical one (PCS-physical component summary, total physical health).
