 3. Quality of Life

Quality of life (QOL) is the general well-being of individuals and societies, outlining negative and positive
features of life.[1] 

It consists of the expectations of an individual or society for a good life. These expectations are guided by the
values, goals and socio-cultural context in which an individual lives. It serves as a reference against which an
individual or society can measure the different domains of a personal life.[2] 

Quality of life includes everything from physical health, family, education, employment, wealth, safety, and
security to freedom, religious beliefs, and the environment.[3]

Quality of life should not be confused with the concept of standard of living [4], which is based primarily on
income.

Standard indicators of the quality of life include not only wealth and employment but also the built
environment, physical and mental health, education, recreation and leisure time, and social belonging.[5]
[6]
 According to the World Health Organization (WHO), quality of life is defined as “the individual’s perception
of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their
goals.” In comparison to WHO's definitions, the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale [7] defines quality of life
as “life quality (in this case, physical pain) at a precise moment in time.”[8]
