Quality of Life

Quality of life measures a person's overall wellbeing, including physical health, emotional state, economic status, and access to educational and cultural opportunities. Quality of life is a multi-dimensional concept that is important for assessing overall satisfaction with life and enabling individuals and organizations to make decisions that improve levels of health and wellbeing. Quality of life data is invaluable for evaluating the effectiveness of public policies, comparing international standards of living, and providing evidence for healthcare and other interventions. Quality of life helps individuals, organizations, and governments make decisions about how best to improve people’s health and overall wellbeing.
