Quality of life in relation to health in hypertensive university teachers attending a cardiology clinic in Lima Norte

Abstract

Quality of life has a considerable influence on a person's well-being, although when an illness occurs, this well-being tends to decrease, and this modifies the person's lifestyle. Therefore, the objective of the study is to determine the quality of life in relation to health in hypertensive university teachers who attend a cardiology clinic in northern Lima. It is a quantitative, descriptive-cross-sectional study, with a total population of 124 hypertensive university teachers. The results show that 13,7 % (n=17) have a very low quality of life in relation to their health, 26,6 % (n=33) have a low quality of life, 9,7 % (n=12) have an average quality of life, 43,5 % (n=54) have a high quality of life and 6,5 % (n=8) have a very high quality of life. In conclusion, health evaluations of the population should be carried out to detect risk factors and hypertension at an early stage.
