The perception of autonomy was evaluated with the autonomy sub-scale of the Quality of Life Scale of Older Adults from the World Health Organization (World Health Organization Quality of Life of Older Adults, WHOQOL-OLD).Results: The mean (SD) age of the 1,252 community-dwelling older adults participating in the study was 68.5 (7.2) years. The average perception of autonomy was 65.3 (18.2) points out of 100. In the final logistic regression model, schooling <6 years (Odds Ratio, OR = 2.1, 95% Confidence Interval, CI = 1.5–2.9), low social support (OR = 1.6, 1.2–2.2), low spirituality (OR = 2.6, 95% CI = 1.9–3.4), presence of cognitive impairment (OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.4–2.5), anxiety (OR = 1.7, 95% CI = 1.2–2.5), and limitation in activities of daily living (ADL) (OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.1–2.2) were statistically associated with the presence of low autonomy in older adults.Conclusion: The perception of autonomy among community-dwelling older adults is moderate. Social support and spirituality, as well as cognitive impairment, anxiety, and limitations in ADL, play a significant role for degree of perceived autonomy in this population. Health professionals can use this information to promote participation in decision-making processes through programs that improve quality of life.Keywords: elderly, bioethics, Quality of Life, activities of daily living, social supportSánchez-García SGarcía-Peña CRamírez-García EMoreno-Tamayo KCantú-Quintanilla GRDove Medical Pressarticleelderlybioethicsquality of lifeactivities of daily livingsocial supportGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 14, Pp 2041-2053 (2019)
