Abstract

Quality of life in older adults is essential for good physical and mental health, enabling them to carry out their activities and interact socially. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine the quality of life of older adults in a geriatric center in Metropolitan Lima. This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study with a total population of 153 older adults who responded to a questionnaire on sociodemographic data and the WHOQOL-OLD quality of life questionnaire. The results show that 11.8% (n=18) have a poor quality of life, 77.1% (n=118) have a moderately good quality of life, and 11.8% (n=18) have a good quality of life. In conclusion, strategies or campaigns should be implemented to provide comprehensive preventive and promotional health care for older adults.
