ABSTRACT

Introduction: Quality of life is a complex and multidimensional concept that usually contains a large part of subjective perception. There are factors that may have some influence on such perception, such as the appreciation of the state of health or the presence of diseases such as obesity, type II diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension. Objective: To identify the relationship between perception of health status, presence of diseases and quality of life and their relationship according to the subject’s age. Method: A cross-sectional comparative study was carried out. The perception of quality of life was compared according to the perception of one’s own health and the presence of diseases. We included 221 people between 18 and 88 years of age. Participants were categorized by age groups, with 96 young adults (18 to 29 years of age); 32 mature adults (30 to 59 years old); and 93 older adults (60 and over). To assess the perception of quality of life, the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQoL) instrument was used. Results: The quality of life differs significantly depending on the perception of health, the presence of diseases and the age group. Older people with poor health perception and with the presence of diseases perceive a worse quality of life, compared to young people, without diseases and with a good perception of health. Conclusions: The traditional models of quality of life based on physical aspects are exceeded for their application with older adults, it is important to consider theoretical models that emphasize psychological aspects.
