Abstrakt: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the world health organization quality of life questionnaire for people with intellectual disability (WHOQOL-DIS-ID). This was a cross-sectional study of 118 adults with intellectual disability. Internal consistency and temporal reliability were evaluated using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), respectively. Construct validity of the structure was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with the quality of life. Cronbach's alpha for all, but not for discrimination area, as well as ICC for all questions except for 23 and 6, were higher than 0.7. The variables such as periodic check-up, number of friends, entertainment outside the home, parental separation, physical activity, unmet needs score, caregiver's mental health status, and available facilities were the predictors of QOL. The Persian version of the WHOQOL-DIS-ID shows acceptable validity and reliability.
