Comparatively less research attention has been allocated exploring other indices of quality life (QoL) AS&R populations. This review aimed (i) synthesize the predictors correlates QoL populations high-income (ii) identify methodological strengths weaknesses this body research. Fourteen databases were systematically searched (Medline, PsychINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Health Technology Assessment, National Service Economic Evaluation, Educational Resource Index Abstracts, BiblioMap, Scopus, Social Sciences Citation Index, Evidence Aid, DARE, Web Science PubMed). Eligibility criteria included: adults seeking or refuge country, primary quantitative data, use measure based WHO's definition QoL, published peer-reviewed journal. A narrative synthesis approach was used, assessed using AXIS tool for cross-sectional studies CASP longitudinal studies. Of 13.656 papers identified, 23 met eligibility criteria. wide range factors found significant associations with QoL. Both positive negative largely dominated by social (e.g. networks) health depression). Although all over half criteria, only 12 75% more these For studies, but one study lacked statistical precision results cannot be applied local population.
