| description | Quality of life in older adults is one of the most pressing issues in our country today, given that older adults do not have access to basic needs that would allow them to enjoy an optimal quality of life in terms of their health. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the quality of life of older adults living in a settlement in northern Lima. This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study with a total population of 122 older adults who completed a questionnaire on sociodemographic data and an instrument for assessing quality of life. The results show that 13.1% (n=16) of older adults have a poor quality of life, 73% (n=89) have a moderately good quality of life, and 13.9% (n=17) have a good quality of life. In conclusion, older adults should be prioritised with regard to their quality of life in order to identify their needs and improve their health with family support and advice from health professionals. |
