概要	Aims: This study aimed to identify factors associated with the QOL of institutionalized people with dementia by including functional factors and activity/participation reported in previous studies as variables. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Multiple regression analysis with the forward-backward stepwise selection method was performed to analyze factors associated with QOL of institutionalized people with dementia, including the number of items of activity/participation, cognitive function, ADL independence, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), pain, and overall muscle strength, all of which have been reported to be associated with QOL. Results: The number of items of activity/participation and BPSD were significantly associated with subjective QOL, wheras BPSD, the number of items of activity/participation, and ADL independence were significantly associated with objective QOL. Conclusion: Activity/participation may be one of the significant factors associated with QOL of institutionalized people with dementia. Additionally, BPSD and ADL independence are important factors associated with QOL. A comprehensive combination of approaches that increase activity/participation, reduce BPSD, and improve ADL independence has the potential to improve the QOL of institutionalized people with dementia.
