Introduction: Skin diseases are increasing globally, but information on the prevalence of chronic wounds in older adults is scarce; these injuries negatively affect quality of life, generating pain and functional limitations. Objective: Determine the factors associated with quality of life related to chronic wounds in older adults at the José Cayetano Heredia Hospital, 2023. Material and methods: Analytical cross-sectional study whose sample included older adults with chronic wounds who met the selection criteria using a non probabilistic sample. Variables such as sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the wound were explored, while comorbidities and the degree of dependence were evaluated as intervening factors. Result: A total of 223 older adults were included in the study, 50.7% had good quality of life and 49.3% had poor quality of life related to chronic wounds. Diabetic ulcers were exclusive to the poor quality of life group (28.2% vs. 0.0%). Diabetes mellitus showed a significant association with quality of life. Independence and mild dependence were exclusive to the poor quality of life group. Conclusion: The factors associated with quality of life related to chronic wounds were diabetic ulcer and diabetes mellitus. The most common etiology was infectious wound, followed by venous and diabetic wounds. All older adults with diabetic foot ulcers were associated with poor quality of life
