Abstract: Quality of life is very important in relation to health, as it addresses functions that enable people to maintain a healthy life. Therefore, the research objective is to determine the quality of life in relation to health in people with chronic diseases living in a vulnerable area of northern Lima. This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, and non-experimental study. A total population of 152 people with chronic diseases responded to a questionnaire on sociodemographic aspects and a questionnaire on quality of life in relation to health. The results show that 18 (n=11.8%) have a low quality of life, 26 (n=17.1%) have an average quality of life, 58 (n=38.2%) have a high quality of life, and 50 (n=32.9%) have a very high quality of life. It was concluded that strategies to increase promotion and prevention of non-communicable diseases should be taken into account.
