    Background Quality of life studies in low- and middle-income countries have demonstrated the influence of socioeconomic factors on the quality of life (QoL). However, further studies are required to confirm this association in developing countries with rapidly ageing populations. Using Ferrans et al.’s QoL model, this study aimed to identify the factors associated with the QoL of community-dwelling adults in Indonesia. Methods A cross-sectional study among 546 community-dwelling adults aged 50+ years was conducted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in 2018. QoL was measured using the Short Form 12 questionnaire, which consists of a summary of physical and mental health. We performed stepwise logistic regression analyses to determine odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and examined the association between the QoL (physical and mental health) and demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, financial management behaviour, multimorbidity status, nutritional status, cognitive impairment status, depression status, and independence. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results Among the respondents, 15% reported poor physical health, and 9.2% reported poor mental health. Good physical health was significantly associated with the absence of chronic disease (OR 2.39; 95% CI: 1.07–5.33), independence in activities of daily living (OR 3.90; 95% CI 1.57–9.67) and instrumental activities of daily living (OR 4.34; 95% CI 2.28–8.26). Absence of depression was significantly associated with good mental health (OR 2.80; 95% CI 1.3–5.96). Conclusion The QoL of community-dwelling adults in Indonesia is associated with activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, as well as the absence of chronic disease and depression. Efforts should be made to prevent chronic disease and delay functional decline through healthy lifestyles and routine physical and mental health screenings.

    Development of aging policies and activities needs perspective from older adults to ensure the inclusion of older adults’ values and needs. The purpose of this study is to investigate the perspective on and experience in achieving successful aging from older adults who live in the community in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A qualitative study using a phenomenological approach was employed to obtain the data from 21 community-dwelling older adults aged 60+ years old and to analyze the data using Colaizzi’s method of phenomenological data analysis. The analysis concludes that successful aging is a process of attaining serenity by managing expectations with adjustment, acceptance, and gratitude. The expectations include the autonomy and health, fulfillment of necessities, family attainments and relationship, and harmonious social relationship. Successful aging programs should support older adults’ process in achieving expectations and improve their capacity to adapt and experience serenity as they age.
