Description
Summary:Quality of life is the perception that a person has of their life situation in terms of their expectations, standards and concerns. In addition, it is also influenced by the current state of physical and mental health. The quality of life is a resource for personal, economic and social progress, which reveals the importance of it in the life of a human being. To be specific, a population of university students has been studied because the quality of life and the mental and physical health of these students is influenced by a multiplicity of factors that can affect them either positively or negatively without depending only on the academic environment. The objective of this research was to evaluate the quality of life related to physical and mental health in university students. The study was carried out with 255 students from the Universidad de la Costa CUC, to whom the Quality of Life in Health Questionnaire Sf-36 was applied. It was evidenced that the students have an average level of quality of life in relation to mental and physical health that is favorable in general terms. In regard to sex, men enjoy a higher level of health and quality of life than women.
