Description
Aging is a series of biological changes that occur in the body as one age, characterized by a decline in
physical abilities and an increased risk of diseases. The increased physical impairments can lead to
changes in quality of life, especially the unpreparedness of the elderly to face such conditions. Most of
the elderly have chronic diseases and complain about their living conditions. The hamlet lacks an elderly
integrated health post (posyandu) and access to healthcare services such as community health centers
(Puskesmas) is quite distant, approximately ± 6 km, resulting in the elderly not receiving regular health
checks, health screenings, or health education. This study aims to determine the relationship between
physical health status and the quality of life of the elderly in Padangan Hamlet, Banjarejo Village,
Gunungkidul Regency. A quantitative method with a correlational research design was employed. The
sample consisted of 41 participants selected through an incidental sampling technique. Data collection
was conducted using questionnaires. The questionnaire for quality of life was adapted from the
WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, while the questionnaire for physical health status was developed by
the researcher based on theory. Both questionnaires underwent validity and reliability tests. Bivariate
analysis using Spearman Rank test. The Spearman Rank statistical test obtained a p-value of 0.000 (p
< 0.05). There is a relationship between physical health status and the quality of life of the elderly in
