Summary/Abstract: In many developed countries, the income of countries because of economic and trade activity has been growing for a long time, although the satisfaction of the population with life does not show a growing trend. Modern views on quality of life consider, in addition to economic indicators, e.g., income, consumption, GDP per capita, human development index, etc. to a greater extent, subjective evaluation. The aim of the article was to point out the existence or the absence of dependence between the development of quality of life in Slovakia using the human development index and various subjectively selected variables such as consumption of essential commodities such as wheat flour and bread but also avoidable mortality, years of healthy life, crude marriage rate and median age. Bakery commodities were included in the survey because, among other indicators, we had the partial goal of examining whether and how the consumption of essential foods such as e.g., bread affects quality of life.The article found the dependence between the consumption of the mentioned commodities, the median age, years of healthy life and the IRL based on multiple regression in the SAS software.
