Women’s quality of life is heavily influenced by their environmental conditions: A global study shows that how women perceive their home environment, financial resources, and physical surroundings, including pollution levels, is crucial to understanding their overall well-being and health.

    >The study also looked at women’s quality of life in different age groups and found:
    >
    >- Younger women under 45, reported the poorest health-related quality of life of any age group, and on every domain, although their quality of life was adequate.
    >
    >- Women over 45, reported that quality of life in every domain except physical, had improved and was reported as good or very good.
    >
    >- By 60, older women generally had the best quality of life level in their life. These high levels were sustained up to 75 years of age and beyond, peaking for environmental quality of life.

    >Data from four World Health Organisation (WHO) surveys was collected in 43 countries world-wide and included responses from 17,608 adults, aged15 to 101 years.
    >
    >A cross-culturally developed measure known as the WHOQOL-100 assessed respondents’ quality of life and health on six key dimensions: physical, psychological, independence, social, environmental, and spiritual.
    >
    >The researchers found that environmental quality of life explained a substantial 46% of women’s overall quality of life and health, and home environment  was the biggest contributor.

  2. This doesn’t come as a surprise to me. This is pretty much the list of things that I value most and I’m a big hairy, smelly dude. You just have to add beer and then you have the list for men.

    That’s why I’m working on becoming the feared forest witch. Just leave me the f*CK alone in nature ^^”

  4. So women like to live in a stable and nice environment. Pretty sure that can be extrapolated to most humans regardless of gender.
