Health
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.
Define Ability
A power or capacity to do or act physically, mentally, legally, morally, financially, etc. Synonyms: dexterity, expertness, proficiency, capability. Ability is a competence in an activity or occupation because of one's skill, training, or other qualification. E.g.: The ability to sing well.
Philosophy of Life
A philosophy of life is a personal framework of beliefs, values, and attitudes that guide an individual's understanding of the world and their place in it. It shapes how a person thinks, feels, and acts, influencing their decisions and shaping their overall approach to life. This framework often includes perspectives on purpose, meaning, ethics, and how to navigate life's challenges.
Sexuality
Sexuality encompasses a person's sexual orientation, sexual identity, and sexual behavior, referring to the ways individuals experience and express themselves as sexual beings. It includes attractions, desires, fantasies, and behaviors, and is a fundamental part of human experience.
Quality of Work
Volunteering significantly impacts the quality of working (and overall) life by enhancing both mental and physical well-being, fostering a sense of purpose, and providing valuable skills and networking opportunities. Studies show that volunteers often experience increased happiness, reduced stress, and improved social connections. Additionally, volunteering can boost self-esteem, confidence, and even contribute to career advancement.
Other medically relevant aspects of life
Beyond direct medical treatment, numerous factors significantly influence a person's health and well-being. These can be broadly categorized as social, environmental, and behavioral.

Phases of Surveying
A survey can be divided into four phases: (1) planning, (2) distributing and collecting the questionnaires, (3) analysis, and (4) dissemination of the results. This paper provides step-by-step guidance on how the global and genetic SEQOL (self-evaluated quality of life) and QOL5 questionnaires can be used in a large- or small-scale survey of quality of life (QOL).
Not Scientific Literature
It covers what is required to conduct a survey and generate results that should be of interest to local politicians, decision makers, and representatives from the surveyed groups and should be published after it has been processed and edited. If the results are to be published in the scientific literature, it is necessary to seek the assistance of an expert in statistics and/or research and the dissemination of research results.
Obtain Questionnaires
The Quality of Life Research Center will be happy to furnish individuals and groups with the questionnaire, especially for scientific, educational, and social welfare aspirations. We do not meet requests in which the advertising value of the quality-of-life concept is linked to specific products.
Free to Use for Consumers
The SEQOL, QOL1, and QOL5 questionnaires may be freely copied for informal and scientific, noncommercial surveys; they may also be used for educational purposes. Permission for use in commercial research and nonscientific use must be obtained and the necessary number of copies of the original questionnaire must be ordered from the Quality of Life Research Center.
