    Quality of life and dyspnea in older adults in geriatrics at Naval Medical Center. Callao. 2023

    The world is undergoing a significant demographic shift, with the percentage of the population over 60 expected to nearly double by 2050. This situation is alarming, especially considering the WHO’s assertion that older adults' health does not maintain the same balance as longevity increases; significant inequalities and disparities in health are marked in the elderly, affecting their quality of life. This population group is susceptible to dyspnea, with 30% of people over 65 years old showing symptoms. Consequently, elderly individuals who experience dyspnea will limit their daily activities, reducing their functional status and mobility, impacting their quality of life in the medium and long term. This research aims to understand the quality of life in older adults using the EuroQol-5D scale and dyspnea through the mMRC scale. Therefore, the present study aims to determine the relationship between quality of life and dyspnea in older adults in the geriatrics department of the Naval Medical Center.
