Both male and female were chosen to be part of the study according to the inclusion criteria. Participants were given the scale SF-12 and Barthel index to fill.
Results: Data is not normal distribution table so spearman correlation test used to analyze data. Result shows that strong correlation is found between pcs -12 and barthel index with value 0.811 and moderate positive correlation between mcs-12 and barthel index value 0.54. Hence it shows that there is correlation between quality of life and activity of daily living.
Discussion: The study’s primary goal is to determine how daily living activity and quality of life correlates in geriatric population. The correlation value of Barthel Index and PCS-12 was 0.814 whereas correlation value of Barthel Index and MCS-12 is 0.54. MCS-12 is lower than PCS-12. P value<0.01, geriatrics they could be less able in physical tasks compare to mental tasks.
Conclusion: Study concludes that there is positive correlation between pcs – 12 and barthel index and moderated correlation between mcs-12 and barthel index.
