Abstract Background The growing prevalence of non-communicable chronic diseases poses a significant public health challenge globally, particularly impacting the well-being of aging populations. This study aims to assess the impact of community-based public health service (PHS) on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among middle-aged and older adults with chronic diseases in China. Methods Utilizing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, we constructed a novel scale based on the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) to measure the HRQoL of middle-aged and older patients with hypertension and/or type-2 diabetes. Multivariate linear regression models with Instrument Variables and Propensity Score Matching techniques were applied to examine the effect of PHS on the HRQoL of identified chronic disease patients. Results Among 8,403 hypertensive and/or diabetic patients, only 10.98% had received PHS. After adjusting for covariates, PHS exhibited a significant association with an elevated overall SF-36 score (β = 3.539, p |
