Abstract

Aim: The present study aimed to study the effect of COVID-19 on the quality of life in the geriatric population using ICF in and around Belagavi city. Settings and Designs: Observational study design was implemented in and around Belagavi city. SF-36 and ICF documentation were explained to the subjects and collected. Subjects and Methods: Sixty-five participants from the age group of 65 and above were taken based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Both SF-36 and ICF documentation was explained to them in regional language and collected from them. Statistical Analysis Used: Correlation was performed. Statistical significance was considered where the p-value (0.001) was kept as highly significant. Results: This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 on the elderly population (65+) using the International Classification of Functioning (ICF). Analysis of the SF-36 questionnaire revealed significant impairments in social functioning (56.25%), particularly community life, recreation, and spirituality (ICF codes d-910, d-920, d-930). Additionally, pain (54.3%) significantly affected all 20 ICF code sets, with d-415, d-430, and d-450 being the most impacted. General health also showed a 48% decline. These findings highlight the multifaceted negative impact of COVID-19 on the functioning of the elderly population.
