The paper presents the definition of quality of life and its relationship with sustainable development. The paper analyses and compares the indicators of quality of life in Lithuania with other countries. A quality of life is an explicit or implicit policy goal. Various measurements and indicators to evaluate a quality of life were proposed during the recent years however there are no widely accepted objective indicators of quality of life able to compare countries. Sustainable development concept proposes new approach to measure quality of life. Therefore the aim of sustainable development is to increase quality of life. Quality of life can be addressed in terms of people health, the state of economy, employment, infrastructure development, crime and environment. All these indicators are interrelated as economic development creates preconditions to maintain public health, develop social and technical infrastructure, to increase employment, to ensure quality of environment, to tackle with crime etc. From the other point of view healthy and satisfied with the quality of life nation have positive impact on stable economic growth.

Introduction: Silicosis is pneumoconiosis secondary to the inhalation of mineral dust containing silica. It represents a real public health problem in the city of Jerada.Purposes: To assess the functional parameters of silicosis patients (based on the 6-minute walk test (6MWT)) and their impact on our patients' quality of life (Saint George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD)).Materials and methodology: This is a cross-sectional study of 147 patients with silicosis, designed to collect their socio-demographic data, to assess their respiratory function (6MWT) and their quality of life (SGRQ).Findings: The average age of our patients was 64.08 +/- 6.46 years [46 -81]. At 6MWT, the mean distance walked by our patients is 326.8 +/-168.47 m (30 - 835) or 59% of the predicted distance, with a median of 360m. The mean total Saint George score (SGT) was 68.02 +/- 19.54%. The means of the other Saint George scores were: symptoms (SGS): 45.95 +/- 23.66%, activities (SGA): 79.58 +/- 19.8%, and impact (SGI): 68, Results: The average age of our patients was 64.08 +/- 6.46 years [46 -81]. At 6MWT, the mean distance walked by our patients is 326.8 +/-168.47 m (30 - 835) or 59% of the predicted distance, with a median of 360m. The mean total Saint George score (SGT) was 68.02 +/- 19.54%. The means of the other Saint George scores were: symptoms (SGS): 45.95 +/- 23.66%, activities (SGA): 79.58 +/- 19.8%, and impact (SGI): 68.32 +/- 22.33%. We found a statistically significant relationship between dyspnea, quality of life, anxiety and walking distance.Conclusion: The study demonstrated that silicosis is a pulmonary disease which causes significant functional limitation and deterioration of life quality.

The Impact

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the methodology for determining the European quality of life index. The theoretical and methodological basis of research is the ideas of the interdependence of life quality and sustainable development. To achieve the desired goal, the following research methods were used: analysis and synthesis (for determining theoretical and practical aspects of ensuring the life quality); statistical (for determining standardized indicators and a European Quality of Life Index for Sweden and Ukraine); abstract-logical (for theoretical summarization and conclusion). As a result, the authors created the European Quality of Life Index based on the comparison of the characteristics of international life quality assessment systems (calculation principle, number and composition of indicators, number of countries covered for calculation), as well as systematization of research by Ukrainian and foreign authors. Therefore, the authors selected twelve main indicators. The indicators are divided into two groups: stimulants (prosperity index, basic human needs index, welfare bases, availability of nutrition and basic health care, GDP per capita, population, global competitiveness index, personal security, access to basic knowledge, ecosystem status) and disincentive (government debt, unemployment). To determine the “European life quality index”, the authors used the formula for calculating the arithmetic mean, as all selected indicators can be considered equivalent as a result of standardization by the method of “minimum- maximum”. In addition, for in-depth analysis, the authors calculated the growth rates of indicators, as well as coefficients of variation. The authors made calculations based on data of 2013–2019 for two countries, namely Sweden and Ukraine. Sweden occupies a much better position in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, so studying the impact of life quality on sustainable development in this country will suggest ways to achieve the chosen strategic priorities for Ukraine.

Objective Quality Of Life

The concept of life quality has been studied by specialists from a variety of scientific fields: economics, social geography, sociology, psychology, medicine, political sciences, and others. This contributes to the complementariness of the notion and broadens its interdisciplinary perspective, but on the other hand, it leads to a lack of unanimity in terms of the definition and measurement of the quality of life. Meanwhile, all developed countries in the world regard enhancing life quality as a priority of state policy. With the further advancement of our civilisation, quality of life will become a major issue in economic development. Therefore, monitoring this aspect of economic life, at both country and regional level, seems to be of particular significance. The paper aims to assess the suitability of selected methods of multivariate statistical analysis for the construction of a synthetic measure of objective quality of life. The study employs two methods of constructing synthetic measures of objective life quality: the linear ordering method – TOPSIS, and factor analysis. The results obtained by means of multivariate statistical analysis methods made it possible to create ratings of Polish and Belarusian regions in terms of objective quality of life and to further divide the regions into typological groups.

Methods Of Measurement

In recent years, priority for public statistics is to improve the methods of measurement and analysis of various aspects of sustainable socio-economic development. The high rank in terms of monitoring sustainable development is the measurement of life quality. The article presents the CSO’s general concept of life quality survey. It includes the previously completed research and analysis as well as proposals for the development of this research issues for the coming years. Adopted by the CSO concept of measuring the life quality refers both to the Polish tradition of research in this area, as well as international recommendations. This concept takes into account the multifaceted nature of the category of life quality and increasing importance of subjective measures. It was considered that in the measurement of quality of life CSO will seek to take into account the widest possible range of information on all domains adopted by the European Statistical System, including the Polish specifics.
