Objective: To determine the relationship between quality of life and nutritional status in the elderly population treated in the general medicine and geriatrics outpatient clinic of the Florencia De Mora Medical Specialties Center – UPAO. Materials and Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was carried out, an informed consent was applied to the people who agreed to participate in the study, as well as a data collection sheet and an instrument “Olson & Barnes Quality of Life Scale”, which was applied to 200 elderly patients treated at the Florencia de Mora Medical Specialty Center. Results: 57.5% were women, 79% of the patients were between 60 and 74 years old, and 21% were between 75 and 90 years old. In relation to educational level, 52.5% had primary education, 41% secondary and 6.5% higher. 63% had never smoked, 25% had a moderate smoking habit, 9.5% had a heavy habit and 2.5% had a high habit. Alcohol consumption was present in 33% of patients. 52.5% had a low quality of life, 29% had a good quality of life, 4% had an optimal quality of life, and 14.5% had a poor quality of life. 22% had a normal body mass index, 29.5% were overweight, 21% were obese, and 27.5% were malnourished. It was evident that there is no association between quality of life and body mass index in older adult patients (p=0.864). Conclusions: There is no association between quality of life and nutritional status in older adults
