- Abstract
Background: The longevity can be followed by several factors that interfere negatively in the life quality (LQ) of the elderly, for this reason it is necessary to investigate which are these factors in the rural area. Objective: To identify the factors associated with QoL of octogenarian elderly in the rural area of Uberaba-MG. Method: A cross-sectional study with 74 octogenarian elderly living in the rural area was carried out. The sociodemographic profile, number of morbidities, quality of life and functionality were evaluated. Data analysis was performed using Student's t-tests, Pearson's correlation and Multiple linear regression (p <0.05). Results: In the physical domain of LQ, the lowest scores were related to the greater number of morbidities and functional inability in the instrumental activities of daily living. Conclusion: The lower LQ scores in the octogenarian elderly in the rural area of Uberaba-MG are associated with greater morbidity and functional disability.
