Background: A major topic in disability research, Quality of Life (QOL) refers to a person’s sense of well-being derived from their contentment with important areas of their lives. Disabilities are a medical and social problem. People with Disabilities (PWDs) have physical limitations that severely restrict their access to all aspects of practical and social life. Determine how physical characteristics and demographic traits correlate to the quality of life of individuals with disabilities. Methods: Descriptive Correlational study was undertaken at two rehabilitation centers for people with disabilities and physiotherapy in Hilla city (Babylon Specialized Center for Medical Rehabilitation, Babylon Center for Artificial Limbs) from September, 2024 to June, 2025. A155 patients who were selected according to the non-probability sampling method. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The statistical results showed that 103 (68.7%) of individuals had a moderate quality of life.59 (39.3%) possessed fully reliant physical elements (daily living activities) with a mean of (46.25±7.254) and (26.89±8.493, respectively. The results demonstrated There was a significant negative correlation between age and quality of life (r=−0.202, p=0.013). Quality of life differed significantly according to income (F=7.961, p<0.001) and type of disability (F=2.321, p=0.015). Statistically significant differences in physical aspects were observed across categories of level of education (Kruskal–Wallis H=13.829, p=0.032), occupation status (H=15.074, p=0.010), type of disability (H=45.079, p<0.001), and cause of disability (H=7.694, p=0.021). Furthermore, there was a highly statistically significant positive correlation between physical aspects and quality of life (r=0.481, p<0.001). Conclusion: People with disabilities were found to have a moderate state for both quality of life and physical aspects, with daily living activities. Higher quality of life was positive correlations with physical aspects.
