They were selected by available sampling method and were evaluated using WHOQOL-BREF, distress tolerance scale (DTS) and perceived stress scale (PSS-14). The data were evaluated using path analysis by statistical softwares SPSS-20 and AMOS-20. Results: Results showed that there was a significant negative correlation between perceived stress and quality of life in the elderly (p<0.01). Also, There was a significant positive correlation between distress tolerance and quality of life in the elderly (p<0.01). Furthermore, the findings confirmed the role of perceived stress connecting distress tolerance to quality of life of elderly.
