Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the quality of life of elderly patients in a public hospital in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and examined its correlation with their functionality and health profiles.
- Data was collected using the Nottingham Health Profile and the Katz Index, revealing that 116 older adults participated, indicating generally good quality of life.
- A significant finding was that an individual's quality of life worsened with increased dependence, more comorbidities, and living with children, suggesting that hospitalization alone is not indicative of poor quality of life.
