Most people with chronic diseases such as high blood pressure consider it to be a condition that will not disrupt their lifestyle, although over time their quality of life will decline if they do not follow an appropriate treatment regimen. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the quality of life of people with high blood pressure during the COVID-19 pandemic in northern Lima. This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study with a total population of 127 participants who responded to an online survey on sociodemographic aspects and a questionnaire on quality of life in high blood pressure. The results show that 8.7% (n=11) have a high quality of life, 79.5% (n=101) have a medium quality of life, and 11.8% (n=15) have a low quality of life. It can therefore be concluded that the promotion of quality of life in patients with hypertension should be taken into account, as there are multiple factors that can put the person at risk if the disease is at high levels.
