2 | P a g e1. Aims and ObjectivesThe aim of this research proposal attributes to the systematic analysis of the health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) /lifestyle enhancement strategies warranted for the health-advancement of the populations comprising of various age groups and geographical regions. Effective QOL approaches required for improving the pattern of health and wellness include the systematic enhancement of diet, exercise, healthy eating, obesity management, physical activity and smoking cessation (PubMed, 2012). The recommended research investigation explores the clinical benefits on the QOL measures and their subsequent interventions for their systematic inclusion in the process of medical-decision making. Health-related QOL interventions are regarded as significant markers that potentially influence the health and wellness outcomes of thepatient population (Eiser & Jenney, 2007). Health-related QOL approaches significantly improvethe clinical manifestations of the patients affected with various chronic disease conditions. Key HRQoL interventions holistically improve the level of patients’ satisfaction, their overall health status as well as general well-being across the community environment (Muragundi, Tumkur, Shetty, & Naik, 2012). HRQoL tools prove to be the generic as well as disease specific instruments that systematically assess and evaluate the perceptions of individuals in relation to their multidimensional health aspects. These health dimensions might vary in accordance with the emotional stimuli, clinical manifestations and psychosocial symptoms experienced by the healthy as well as diseased individuals (Muragundi, Tumkur, Shetty, & Naik, 2012). The health related quality of life interventions require formulation in accordance with the findings retrieved by HRQoL tools for the systematic reduction in the burden of various infectious, non-infectious, acute and chronic disease conditions across the globe (Muragundi, Tumkur, Shetty, & Naik, 2012). The recommended research intervention will attempt to explore and comparatively 2 | P a g e

The proposed research intervention will objectively evaluate the positive and negative influences of various lifestyle enhancement approaches on the pattern of quality of life (i.e. activity and development as well as emotional, social, material and physicalwell-being) of the target population. The influence of the lifestyle enhancement approaches on the pattern of health and well-being of the research participants will require evaluation with the systematic utilization of Flanagan Quality of Life Scale parameter (Burckhardt, Anderson, Archenholtz, & Hagg, 2003). In this manner, the influence of lifestyle improvement interventions on the health and wellness attributes including activity level, individualized development, psychosocial wellness and interpersonal relationships as well as physical and mental well-being of the study participants will be rationally calculated by the research investigators (Burckhardt, Anderson, Archenholtz, & Hagg, 2003). The study findings will generate evidence-based outcomes that might require further validation on a wider scale for their active implementation in the healthcare sector. The study outcomes will also advocate the requirement of including various QoL approaches in the process of medical decision-making (in outpatient and inpatient settings) with the objective of reducing the length of treatment and decreasing the requirement of undertaking long-term follow-ups by the patient population.
