HRQoL was assessed using the Short Form-36 questionnaire. Clinical characteristics and organ damage (Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) Damage Index) were evaluated. Multiple linear regression analyses identified factors associated with the Physical (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Significant age-related differences were observed in physical HRQoL, with the age group \u226550 years showing lower PCS scores (median 52.6) than the age groups &lt;20 years (56.9) and 20\u201350 years (57.5) (p&lt;0.001). In multivariable models, higher SLICC Damage Index (\u03b2=\u22121.39), lower educational attainment (\u03b2=\u22127.02) and prednisolone use (\u03b2=\u22121.85) were independently associated with lower PCS scores. MCS scores were positively associated with male gender (\u03b2=4.40) and secondary education (\u03b2=2.46), but negatively impacted by higher damage index (\u03b2=\u22120.90) and cyclophosphamide use (\u03b2=\u22125.44). Specific damage patterns, such as avascular necrosis, particularly impaired bodily pain and physical functioning domains.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Age-related differences in SLE predominantly affect physical rather than mental aspects of HRQoL. Cumulative organ damage remains a central modifiable factor associated with poorer outcomes across all ages. These findings emphasise the importance of age-specific management strategies and early damage prevention to optimise long-term HRQoL in patients with SLE.<\/jats:p>\n
