Abstract in brief

This study found that nearly half of US adults (48%) report being dissatisfied with their quality of life, and factors like recent psychological distress, being unmarried, poor health, lack of social support, and lower food security are strongly linked to this dissatisfaction.
Psychological distress has the highest impact among these factors, followed by social issues such as marital status and social support, and health-related problems.
The research also highlights racial disparities, suggesting that social and health factors influencing life dissatisfaction are more common in certain racial groups, contributing to inequalities.
