The purpose of this paper is to present the results of the research pertaining to the quality of life of citizens in four municipalities in North Vojvodina. The empirical research was conducted by the Regional Science Association from Subotica during 2008. It mainly deals with the analysis of subjective indicators and viewpoints which suggest what could be of great assistance in improving the quality of life in the region. I have come to the conclusion that citizens are moderately satisfied with their quality of life and they are mostly concerned about their environment. Different nations have slightly different opinions about evaluation of social and political situation and the majority of the population is more critical. According to the respondents, political stability of the state and improvement of macroeconomic indicators could contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of families and individuals. .

By many estimates the majority of adults over age 65 have two or more chronic medical conditions (multimorbidity) and are consequently at increased risk of adverse functional outcomes. Nonetheless, many older adults with multimorbidity are able to maintain high levels of function and retain good quality of life. Research presented here is designed to understand the influences that help ensure better functional outcomes in these older adults. This chapter presents findings that draw on data from the Midlife in the United States study. The independent and interactive contributions of diverse factors to multimorbidity and changes in multimorbidity over time are reviewed. The degree that multimorbidity increases risk of cognitive impairment and disability is examined. The role of inflammation as a mediator is considered. Multimorbidity is increasingly the norm for older adults, so better understanding of factors contributing to variability in multimorbidity-related outcomes can lead to improved quality of life.

Quality of life (QOL) has over the past decade become an important part of health science and also increased public awareness. It has become increasingly apparent that illness is closely related to the individual perception of a good life, and therefore the exploration of indicators related to quality of life appears to be of broad importance for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Identifying, which factors constitute a good life may reveal an understanding about what areas in life should be encouraged, in order to enhance the global quality of life, health, and ability. In this paper we present results from studies initiated in 1989 to examine quality of life in relation to disease. The purpose of this presentation was to assemble the results from the study carried out in the years between 1993 and 1997, examining a total of 11.500 Danes, to show the association between quality of life and a wide series of social indicators.

Based on empirical research, this article argues that many people practiced early marriage in these both districts. Family tradition and out of wedlock pregnancy were two main reasons behind the practice. Some efforts are being made to improve the quality of life of people in  Selo Boyolali and Kaliangkrik Magelang such as building family quality, promoting early marriage prevention, increasing the role of community education, marriage law counseling, training and improving community skills. The involvement of community leaders in these efforts is very influential. This is indicated by the  issuance of circular letters preventing early marriage. The result is the decrease of early marriage practice in Selo and Kaliangkrik   Artikel ini membahas tentang praktik pernikahan dini yang banyak terjadi di Kecamatan Selo Boyolali dan Kecamatan Kaliangkrik Magelang. Hasil penelitian empiris menunjukkan bahwa terdapat dua faktor penting yang menyebabkan terjadinya pernikahan dini di dua kecamatan tersebut, yaitu tradisi/kebiasaan turun temurun keluarga dan hamil di luar nikah. Untuk menurunkan angka pernikahan dini ini, beberapa usaha telah dilakukan oleh pemerintah setempat seperti membangun kualitas keluarga, pencegahan pernikahan dini, peningkatan kualitas pendidikan, bimbingan pernikahan, dan peningkatan ketrampilan. Dalam usaha ini, pemimpin lokal mempunyai peranan penting dalam mempengaruhi penurunan praktik pernikahan dini. Ini diindikasikan dengan dikeluarkannya surat edaran pelarangan nikah dini oleh KUA setempat. Surat edaran ini mampu  memenurunkan angka pernikahan dini yang ada di dua kecamatan tersebut .

Since quality of life research is essentially concerned with measuring and monitoring welfare. In order to measure quality of life, one must have a theory of what makes up a good life [Cobb (2000)]. There is a variety of such theories and notions of what constitutes a ‗good life‘ and correspondingly different concepts of welfare and quality of life have been developed. Various approaches and operationalisations are to be distinguished, each of which reveals a different concept of welfare and thus highlights different components and dimensions [Noll (2000)]. Among the various efforts to operationalise welfare in general and the quality of life concept in particular, two contrary approaches are to be distinguished, which define the two extreme positions on a broad continuum of concepts currently available: the Scandinavian level of living approach [Erickson (1993)] and the American quality of life approach [Campbell (1976)]. The Scandinavian approach focuses almost exclusively on resources and objective living conditions, whereas the American approach emphasises the subjective well-being of individuals as a final outcome of conditions and processes.
