This study evaluated the quality of life of a group of elderly women identifying their self-perceived health conditions. Most consider their quality of life to be good and are satisfied with their health. Low levels of education and income were not determinant factors for their quality of life, but the presence of negative feelings such as: mood, despair, anxiety and depression call attention to a more specific follow-up of the group.
Keywords: Quality of life; Elderly; Perceived health.
