Abstract: Women play a crucial role in shaping family well-being and societal development, yet many middle-aged homemakers experience challenges that impact their quality of life. This study aimed to assess the quality of life of middle-aged homemakers and examine its association with selected demographic variables. A descriptive survey approach with a non-experimental research design was adopted, targeting 100 middle-aged homemakers who attended a PTA meeting at Crescent College of Nursing, Kannur. Data was collected using a demographic questionnaire and the WHOQOL-BREF scale, validated by experts with a reliability score of 0.945. The findings revealed that most homemakers (60%) rated their physical health as good, while 52% felt neutral about their psychological health. Most respondents (57%) reported positive social relationships and environmental satisfaction. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant association between education, family type, and financial status with quality of life, whereas religion showed no significant correlation
