There is no consensus on a definition of QOL, although there is considerable agreement among experts that it encompasses social and psychological well-being as well as health status. The World Health Organization defines QOL as "an individual's perception of their position in life, in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns".
