The results of intra‑groupevaluation of the aspects of quality of life of the elderly show the lack of significant changes in the meanscores of physical health and environmental health of the elderly in the intervention group (P > 0.05)and the significant reduction of these aspects in the control group (P < 0.05) after intervention. Themean score of mental health scores in the intervention group significantly increased (P = 0.01),but there are no significant changes in the control group (P = 0.273). The mean scores of socialrelationships as well as the overall score of quality of life in the intervention and control groupsshowed no significant changes (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: The present study showed that the consumption of MVM supplements can havea positive effect on increasing the quality of life of the elderly, but it is recommended to be done inthe long term along diet. Moreover, considering the fact that no change was observed in the otheraspects of the quality of life, attentions should be paid to the environmental and social factors suchas social supports and empowerment of the old people in the future studies.
