A cross-sectional design was used in this study to explore the determinants of the quality of life (QoL) of older adults at old homes in Bangladesh. The study was conducted from December 2023 to November 2024. Data collection was done among elderly participants who lived at the four conveniently selected sampling sites, which included the Old Rehabilitation Center at Gazipur, the Bangladesh Association for the Aged and Institute of Geriatric Medicine at Agargaon, Apon Vubon at Uttara, and Subarta Trust at Manikganj. Recruitment was carried out based on the criteria of including individuals who are 60 years or older, regardless of gender, to ensure a good coverage of the elderly population.
