The results showed that the mean score of quality of life is 0.3 ± 0.5. The percentage of dementia subjects who feel extremely difficult is higher than at all, slightly, moderately, severely of mobility, self-care, and usual activities (26.0%, 30.8%, and 32.7%, respectively). The results of the multivariable linear regression analysis showed that the factors related to the quality of life score were: activities of daily living, level of nicotine dependence, depression, and physical activity levels.
