Abstract

Given the negative effects of middle-age changes on the quality of life of middleaged women, there is a need to identify factors that have a positive effect on their quality of life, so that in the future we can focus our interventions on these factors. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the relationship between the dimensions of a health-promoting lifestyle and quality of life among the middle-aged women in Bazargan city. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 150 middle-aged women living in Bazargan city.

Data analysis was performed with SPSS software and using descriptive and analytical (Kolmogorov–Smirnov, Pearson correlation and Multiple linear regression) statistics. Results: The mean scores of health-promoting lifestyle and quality of life were 136.96±21.05 and 60.02±19.38, respectively.
