Abstract
Objetivos: Evaluar los cambios en la calidad de vida de un grupo de personas mayores participantes de un centro de adultos mayores en Santiago, Chile. Metodología: Estudio longitudinal prospectivo con 2 aplicaciones, una al ingreso y otra al término de la participación en un centro de adultos mayores con 35 personas mayores de 60 años. La calidad de vida se midió con el instrumento de la Organización Mundial de la Salud en su versión abreviada. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizaron estadísticas descriptivas y el test de la t de Student. Resultados: Al alta, la calidad de vida mostró un aumento significativo (p < 0,05), es decir, las personas mayores reportan mejores puntuaciones de calidad de vida después de haber participado en las intervenciones que tiene el centro de adultos mayores. Conclusiones: La calidad de vida se debe considerar una medida clave para evaluar los resultados de las intervenciones realizadas en los centros de adultos mayores.
