Abstract

Introduction: Health-related quality of life is increasingly relevant as a way to study population health. This concept refers to the individual's subjective perception of his or her current health situation. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study, in which 45 individuals residing in the Villa Piletones neighborhood of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires were included during September 2024. Health-related quality of life was measured by means of the EQ5D-3L instrument, the visual analog scale and a question from the SF-36 health questionnaire. Results: mean age 44.89 ±14.77. Regarding the EQ-5D-3L, the best possible health status was the most prevalent (28.89%), followed by moderate compromise in the pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression dimensions (22.22%), and by moderate compromise in the anxiety/depression dimension (15.56%). The value obtained on the visual analog scale was 71.78 ±19.60. Regarding the self-report of health status through the SF36, the most prevalent status was fair or poor, with 48.89%. Conclusion: Disturbances such as anguish and depression and pain perception were the most reported, situations such as poverty, low educational level and age are determinants of health-related quality of life.
