[The Influence of Attachment Characteristics and Disease-Specific Predictors on Health-Related Quality of Life in Elderly Patients with Multimorbidity].

OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to further investigate factors influencing multimorbid primary care patients in relation to mental and physical quality of life.


METHODS
219 elderly patients over 50 years with multiple chronic conditions were assessed for quality of life, attachment, depression, and health status at baseline and follow-up after 12 months. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify potential predictors.


RESULTS
Depression, age, and avoidance had a negative influence, and health a positive influence, on physical quality of life. Mental quality of life was negatively influenced by attachment-related anxiety and depression. Relevant predictors that predicted quality of life in one year were health status, depression, and attachment-related anxiety.


CONCLUSION
To maintain quality of life, mental health and attachment needs of multimorbid patients should be considered.
