Quality of life of research participants quantified using the WHOQOL-BREF scale by flood(n = 595).
| Domains | Affected by Flooded (n = 354) (Mean score ± SD) | No flooded (n = 241) (Mean score ± SD) | General (n = 595) (Mean score ± SD) | General subjects with good QoL (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physical health | 55.6 ± 12.3 | 59.4 ± 12.0 | 57.2 ± 12.3* | 25.2 |
| Psychological health | 60.3 ± 12.9 | 64.1 ± 12.8 | 61.9 ± 13.0* | 42.0 |

| Overall evaluation | 59.9 ± 10.9 | 62.9 ± 10.5 | 61.1 ± 10.8* | 39.3 |
*Compared QoL (Mean score) of the subjects affected and non affected flood with p < 0.05 using Mann–Whitney U Test.
