Resumen
The objective of this work was to determine the quality of life in people diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in a sample of Colombian patients. 124 participants with a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis were evaluated according to the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology. The results obtained were compared with the information provided by a similar study carried out in the United States. Quality of life was measured using the Spanish version of the Arthritis Quality of Life questionnaire (QoL-RA). According to the results, Colombian patients with arthritis had a better quality of life in all dimensions of the QoL-RA, compared to patients from the United States who participated in the original validation of the test, both of Anglo-Saxon and Latino origin. .
