Numerous studies carried out based on Abrahamic religions already depicted link between spirituality and health. Very few studies were conducted integrating Vedic spirituality and health especially among late middle aged adults. This study was envisaged to depict the variances in spiritual beliefs and health related quality of life (HRQoL) among late middle aged adults based on their demographic characteristics.

Methods: Measures of Spiritual beliefs and Recall Inventory (SBRI) and WHO-QOL (BREF) were administered to late middle aged adults (n=30) within the age group of 50 to 60 years. Variables of family type, dietary habits, substance use, medication, practice of yoga, kirtan, worship, mantra chanting were considered for comparison. Data was analyzed using Non Parametric test of Mann Whitney U to find the significant differences in the SBRI domains and HRQoL between test groups. Results and Conclusion: There were no significant differences either in Spiritual beliefs or HRQoL among the test groups basing on family type, dietary habits or practice of yoga/kirtan. Significant differences in HRQoL were found between the groups based on substance use, practice of chanting mantras and worship. Significant differences in Spiritual beliefs and Recall was not observed between any of the groups except those on long term medication. Implication of the study findings shall be discussed.
