Data were collected using the Demographic Information Form, the Cynical Hostility Questionnaire, the Short Version of the Loneliness Scale, the Steptoe Social Isolation Index and the Quality of Life in the Elderly Scale. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The sample was divided into two age groups (50\u201364 and 65\u2009years and older), and evaluations were conducted for both groups and the total sample.

The mean quality of life score was 26.51\u2009\u00b1\u20097.05; the mean loneliness score was 4.66\u2009\u00b1\u20091.50; the mean cynical hostility score was 3.89\u2009\u00b1\u20091.04, and the mean social isolation score was 1.94\u2009\u00b1\u20091.31.
