Quality of life has a significant impact on a person's well-being, although when illness strikes, this well-being tends to decline, thereby altering the person's lifestyle. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the quality of life in relation to health in hypertensive patients who visit a cardiology clinic in northern Lima. This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study with a total population of 124 hypertensive individuals. The results show that 13.7% (n=17) have a very low quality of life in relation to their health, 26.6% (n=33) have a low quality of life, 9.7% (n=12) have an average quality of life, 43.5% (n=54) have a high quality of life, and 6.5% (n=8) have a very high quality of life. In conclusion, health assessments should be carried out on the population to detect risk factors and hypertension at an early stage.
