Abstract Background: Hip fractures are serious injuries that can lead to immobility and dependency, disability, mortality and negatively impact on patients' quality of life. Aim: To compare the effect of three different ages of patients with hip fracture on their quality life. Research design: Descriptive (comparative research) design was utilized to conduct this study. Subjects: The sample compromised from three different adult ages from patients with hip fracture. Thirty patients for each group. The first age group represents young adult (18 04 > ), the second middle age adult (40 > 04), and the third older age adult (≥60). Setting: Trauma department at Assiut University Hospital. Tools: (I) Patient assessment sheet, (II) Rand Short Form 36-Items questionnaire. Result: The mean score of quality of life of the first age group (95.63±1.299) was more than the second and third age group (93.36±2.370, 83.46±18.024 respectively). Conclusion: quality of life of the first age group was better than the second and third age groups. Recommendation: rehabilitation program should be developed and applied for older adult patients with hip fracture to improve their quality of life.
