Quality of life (QOL) is the general well-being of individuals and societies. QOL has a wide range of contexts, including the fields of international development, healthcare, politics and employment. It is important not to mix up the concept of QOL with a more recent growing area of health related QOL (HRQOL). When we look at HRQOL we in effect look at QOL and its relationship with health.
Quality of life should not be confused with the concept of standard of living, 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.
According to ecological economist Robert Costanza:
One approach, called engaged theory, outlined in the journal of Applied Research in the Quality of Life, posits four domains in assessing quality of life: ecology, economics, politics and culture. In the domain of culture, for example, it includes the following subdomains of quality of life:

The OECD’s Better Life Index invites citizens to compare quality of life across countries in 11 well-being dimensions and to create their own index based on what is most important to them. Since the Index launched in 2011, over 110,000 responses have been integrated into an interactive map. Visit www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/responses and put yourself on the map!
An opportunity to improve wellness, prevention, quality of life and overall health Healthcare is chronically ill and the major symptom is escalating costs. Reactive health care cannot address the common chronic health problems that are predictable via lifestyles, habits and common situations challenging individuals and caregivers. The major players of healthcare: consumers, health providers and payors (i.e. insurances and government) do not share values or goals. Poor oral health is the most prevalent chronic health concern and is impacted by threats transparent to overall health and wellness. Beginning at birth, health promotion can be easily facilitated through oral health literacy. A password-protected, consumer-centered, and transparent healthcare interface tracking oral health a...
So, I haven´t uploaded anything in awhile. So grab some food and some drinks and watch this with me. I will try to upload a few more. Meet Michael "Heir" Rosario, the most prolific and talented graffiti writer from the Mission District in San Francisco. At age ten, in a desperate search for fame and identity, Heir began writing his name on surrounding urban landscapes. More than a decade later, Heir has evolved into a brilliant street artist. With the support of his best friend and partner-in-crime, Curtis "Vain" Smith, Heir has covertly decorated the canvases of concrete and steel throughout the Bay Area. However, when Heir and Vain are arrested for painting, their secret identities are revealed and creative outlets abruptly severed. Faced with restitution and the prospect of serving ha...
How do we create cities that deliver quality of life for everyone? That can pull in global talent but also take care of locals? Places that are good for a fun night out and also running a new enterprise; that have culture and architecture on the right scale? These were the challenges at the heart of Monocle's Quality of Life Conference in Lisbon. This film shares the questions that we all need to answer.

Quality of Life, as a true low-budget indie, is a remarkably polished film. Chronicling the lives of two Frisco graff writers (Vain and Heir) as their encounters with the law place strain on their friendship and ambitions, the movie takes a penetrating look at those involved in the underground graffiti movement, as well as their place in society. While one character, Heir, considers straightening out his life by getting involved in advertising, bringing to light the difficulties involved in such a transition, his friend, Vain, unwilling to let go of the "bombing" lifestyle, heads into a tailspin, that eventually explodes in the film's powerful climax. Despite the serious nature of the film, the movie has a lot of funny moments, which prevent it from being overbearing. The characters-...

Every year American consulting firm Mercer releases its quality of life index ranking cities around the world on numerous criteria. Many companies use this list to determine compensation for employees and international expansion opportunities. The list is indexed with New York City having a score of 100 while every other city is ranked in comparison. You may have noticed that no US or UK cities made the top 25 (which is usually dominated by German speaking cities). That doesn't mean your city is a terrible place to live though. If we could continue the listing you would see numerous American and British cities popping up after number 25 and especially into the 50s. Keep in mind the world has thousands of very large cities so even being in the top 100 is quite an accomplishment. These are 2...

They suggest several ways in which further research could enhance our understanding of Hrql impairment, its biological basis, and its relevance to psychopathology. There is discussion of the current findings, issues and concerns regarding instruments for measuring Hrql, and quality of life impairment in specific mental disorders. Comparative data regarding Hrql de...
