Background: Aging is a human health condition, which experiences a process of deterioration and morpho-physiological changes. Therefore, the changes influence your functionality to carry out your daily activities and can affect your quality of life. Objective: To determine the association of the level of functionality and quality of life in older adults of the Comprehensive Center for the Elderly (CIAM) San Antonio de Huarochirí. Material and Methods: Observational, analytical cross-sectional study. We applied the Barthel Index to measure functionality and the SF 36 questionnaire for quality of life. Results: 156 older adults (OA) were interviewed, predominantly female with 61.5%, average age was 71.9 years. The results on the level of functionality showed that 0.6% presented total dependence, 3.2% severe dependence, 48.08% moderate dependence, 15.4% low dependence and 32.7% with independence. Regarding quality of life, 57.1% said they had worse and 42.9% better quality of life. A significant association was found between functional level and quality of life using the chi square test. p <0.005. Conclusion: It was determined that the CIAM OA functionality level predominates with moderate dependence (48.1%), revealing that the majority of OA perform their ADLs independently. Regarding the quality of life, it was found that 42.9% stated that they had a better quality of life. Therefore, the higher the functional level, the higher the quality of life.
