Background <p>Morocco’s rapidly growing older adult population poses major care challenges. This demographic shift requires a proactive response from the government and health authorities. They should adopt strategies focused on chronic disease prevention, co-morbidity, and the management of geriatric syndromes. This study describes this population’s socio-demographic, economic and health profile. The study aims to identify factors associated with their quality of life through a scoping review.</p> Methods <p>The study is based on the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The databases used to identify relevant articles (<i>n</i> = 24) published (in any language) until 1st September 2025 were Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect and MEDLINE. Two investigators independently selected studies, extracted and analyzed data from studies involving Moroccan people aged 60 and over, focusing on their socio-demographic profile and the various dimensions of their quality of life.</p> Results <p>The analysis highlights significant issues among the older adult. First, illiteracy increases this population’s vulnerability by limiting access to information and health services, complicating their care. Second, chronic diseases severely affect their quality of life. They alter their physical capacity and lead to a loss of autonomy and dependence. Third, depression worsens health and contributes to a lasting sense of malaise. Finally, sexual function, although often neglected, remains a key factor associated quality of life, self-esteem and interpersonal relationships.</p> Conclusions <p>The management of comorbidities complicates medical care, exacerbates existing health conditions, and negatively associated with the quality of life of older adults. These findings underscore the need for a multidisciplinary approach to improve both healthcare services and overall well-being in this population.</p>
