本文是根据一项全国性的生活质量调查的结果，随机抽样的999人年龄在65岁及以上，住在家里在英国。调查是半结构化的，并对调查对象进行了抽样跟踪和深入访谈，以全面探讨他们对生活质量的看法。本文将以下两种方法的结果进行比较：（i）基于理论推导的调查受访者对其整体生活质量评分指标的分层多元回归模型，（ii）相同受访者自己对生活质量的定义，从他们对开放式调查问题的回答中分类，及（iii）其后接受更深入访问的次样本受访者的意见。在调查访谈开始时，向受访者询问了关于生活质量的开放式问题，以防止所使用的结构化措施造成任何受访者偏见。核心组成部分，和中央木板，生活质量，这是一贯强调的三种方法，心理特征和前景，健康和功能状态，个人和邻里社会资本。非专业模型还强调了财务状况和独立性的重要性，这些都需要纳入更广泛的生活质量定义中。
This paper is based on the results of a national survey of the quality of life of 999 randomly sampled people aged 65 and over, living at home in Britain. The survey was semi-structured, and a sample of survey respondents was followed up and interviewed in-depth in order to explore their perceptions of quality of life in full. Comparisons are made here between the results of (i) a hierarchical multiple regression model based on theoretically derived indicators of survey respondents' ratings of their overall quality of life, with (ii) the same respondents' own definitions of quality of life, categorised from their responses to open ended survey questions, and (iii) the views of a sub-sample of these survey respondents who were subsequently interviewed in greater depth. Respondents were asked the open ended questions on quality of life at the outset of the survey interview in order to prevent any respondent bias from the structured measures used. The core components, and the central planks, of quality of life, which were consistently emphasised by the three approaches, were psychological characteristics and outlook, health and functional status, personal and neighbourhood social capital. The lay models also emphasised the importance of financial circumstances and independence, which need to be incorporated into a definition of broader quality of life.
