Abstract:

The aim of this study was to evaluate health-related quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease, aged 80 and over.

Better health-related quality of life was reported among patients who lived with their families, despite greater physical limitations. Physical and mobility limitations determined health-related quality of life a ; mong women. Cognitive limitations and depressive mood increased the probability of developing functional limitations.
