The study of quality of life and its components has captured the minds of people across time, culture and place. This has engaged people across disciplines for centuries. It is the ultimate goal of society to improve the lives and well-being of every citizen. In fact many adults go for this purpose of adding value and increasing their quality of life. Quality of life is defined as "an individual's perception of his/her position in life in the context of culture and value systems in which he/she lives, and in relation to his/her goals, expectations, standards and concerns" (World Health Organization Group, 1993).
