This subscale included items pertaining to faith, achieving personal goals, happiness, peace of mind, and satisfaction with life in general. Considering ages by decade, there were no significant differences between QOL scores. However, when comparing male and female scores in the health and functioning subscale (HFSUBa), a significant difference was noted (p=0.042) (Table 1.3). Males had a mean score of 23 and females had a mean score of 20.5 (Table 1.4). The remaining subscales showed no significant differences.
