Abstract Background Although studies have shown that sleep quality (duration) is associated with health-related of life (HRQoL), most these been small-sized and targeted at young middle-aged adults. In addition, few explored the path mechanism disorders leading to impaired HRQoL. Objectives This study aimed determine association between duration HRQoL among elderly in United Kingdom, assess whether depression mediated association, explore role physical activity (PA) association.
