The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life, identify healthy aging according to sex and age group, and establish the relationship between quality of life and healthy aging in older adults of the Colinas Lojanas neighborhood, through a quantitative approach, crosssectional cohort, with a sample of 50 participants in which quality of life and healthy aging were measured through the application of the World Health Organization's questionnaire for quality of life in adults (WHOQOL-BREF) and the active aging scale. Obtaining a predominance of the female sex, the elderly group in both men and women showed an average quality of life of 60% (n=6) and 50% (n=20) respectively. On the other hand, in men and women, regular healthy aging represented 60% (n=6) and 50% (n=20) in the elderly group.
