Socio-demographic variables were evaluated, cardiovascular risk factors, levels of PA and HRQOL perception. Univariate analysis were done, bivariate (U of Mann ­ whitney and Kruskal Wallis) and exploratory multivariate (lineal regression). Statistical significance p ˂0,05. Results: 1076 participants were included, average 56,6 years of age SD 12,8; 88.3% were women. The HRQOL scores varied between 65 and 70,2 with lower values among the environment dimension and the highest on the physical. The associated variables to the decline of the HRQOL perception were: physical dimension (to a man, adult, low educational background, widower, unemployed, smoker, hypertensive, and to have diabetes mellitus); psychological dimension (adult, low educational background, unemployed, smoker); social dimension (low educational background); environmental dimension (to live in a rural area, low educational background, unemployed and obesity percentage of fat). Conclusion: The HRQOL perception decayed with socio-demographic variables like to a man, being an adult, to have a low educational background, being an unemployed and to suffer from illnesses like smoking, high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus, affecting the physical and psychological dimensions.
