Calidad de vida de adultos mayores de la Seguridad Social peruana durante la pandemia por COVID-19 / Quality of life of older adults in Peruvian Social Security during the COVID-19 pandemic
Ninety-nine older adults participated, most of them women (84.9%), the average age was 73.1 years, 83.3% had a higher education level and 86.7% were living with someone else. Older adults with obesity, lung disease, inability to manage their own money, fatigue and hearing problems reported a lower than average score (<78.9) on the quality of life scale. Osteoarticular diseases and feelings of fatigue increase the likelihood of problems with mobility, performing daily activities, and pain/discomfort.
Conclusions:
The quality of life of older adults is influenced by multiple factors that must be addressed to improve their physical and mental well-being.
