Resumen
Demographic and epidemiological transformations have led to an increase in elderly
populations in the world, and chronic diseases become the main health problem in
this population, with consequences for the independence and autonomy, and
interfering in the lifestyle and daily activities, and may decrease the welfare and
quality of life. So, there is an urgent need for multidisciplinary research on the quality
of life, understood as a multidimensional and subjective concept, as well as the
associated factors, such as health habits, presence of chronic conditions and
functional capacity. Thus, In qualitative terms, the Article 1 provides an assessment
and perception of the elderly about their quality of life. Article 2, in turn, presents the
results of more extensive quantitative research, which can be seen that age,
presence of chronic diseases and depression were associated with the quality of life.
Thus, we discuss the need for action was planning and health strategies, with
interdisciplinary approach, considering the environmental context and reality of family
elders, promoting quality in the process of aging
