Ítem Acceso Abierto Calidad de vida y factores de riesgo cardiovascular en mujeres post menopáusicas. Biblián y Déleg, marzo-agosto 2024(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) González Rivera,, Nayeli Estefanía; Carangui Tenesela, Henry Patricio; León González, Fanny Mercedes; 0350107397; 0302896741Cardiovascular risk factors are recognized as elements that deteriorate the quality of life in postmenopausal women. Objective: To analyze the quality of life and cardiovascular risk factors in postmenopausal women in the cantons of Biblián and Déleg from March to August 2024. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study with a quantitative approach. A convenience sample of postmenopausal women was used. Data were collected through surveys and scales such as the SF-36 Health Questionnaire and the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). Results: The analysis of postmenopausal women revealed a median age of 54.5 years, with a predominance of elementary education (83.5%), married status (88.1%), and residence in Biblián (63.1%). Regarding cardiovascular risks, 43.8% were overweight, 2.8% were obese, and participants presented high abdominal circumference and blood pressure. The assessment of quality of life using the SF-36 yielded a mean score of 83.30, with notably high scores in emotional role and social functioning but lower scores in general health. The MRS demonstrates that 62.5% of participants experienced moderate somatic discomfort, while 52.6% reported severe psychological discomfort, significantly impacting overall quality of life. Conclusion: The quality of life in postmenopausal women shows moderate to severe discomfort, with no significant relationship to cardiovascular or sociodemographic factors. Keywords: quality of life, menopause, women's health, cardiovascular risk factors
