The life expectancy has increased worldwide, which has resulted in a sharp increase in the number of senior citizens. There is a growing concern about how the elderly people will be supported and cared for in the 21st century. The present challenge is how to ensure that people will be enabled to age with security and dignity. The lack of understanding and insight into the factors influencing Quality of Life (QOL) of the senior citizens is largely responsible for the elderly being denied a dignified existence.
