Resumen
La calidad de vida (CdV) es un constructo que predice los resultados de la enfermedad y el bienestar en la vejez. Analizamos los factores asociados a la CdV en las mujeres mayores en el ámbito rural. Además, se incluyeron los siguientes objetivos específicos: a)examinar las variables socioeconómicas; b)examinar las variables de salud física y mental, y c)examinar las variables psicosociales.
Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en las principales bases de datos de ciencias de la salud en los últimos cinco años. La búsqueda arrojó 991 artículos. De ellos, se revisaron 24, ninguno realizado en España. Las mujeres en el ámbito rural mostraron puntuaciones más bajas en CdV que los hombres. Las principales variables asociadas a la CdV fueron estructura del hogar, nivel educativo, ingresos económicos, multimorbilidad, comorbilidad, depresión, fragilidad, ansiedad y soledad.
Se confirma la falta de estudios para conocer la CdV de las mujeres mayores en el ámbito rural en Europa, específicamente en España, lo que constituye un objetivo prioritario de salud pública.

Abstract
Quality of life (QoL) is a construct that predicts disease outcomes and well-being in old age. We analyzed factors associated with QoL in older women in rural settings. We also had the following specific objectives: (i)to examine socioeconomic variables; (ii)to examine physical and mental health variables, and (iii)to examine psychosocial variables.
A literature review was conducted in the main health sciences databases over the last five years. The search yielded 991 articles. Of these, 24 were reviewed, none carried out in Spain. Women in rural areas showed lower QoL scores than men. The main variables associated with QoL were household structure, educational level, income, multimorbidity, comorbidity, depression, frailty, anxiety and loneliness.
This confirms the lack of studies on the QoL of older women in rural areas in Europe, specifically in Spain, which is a priority objective for public health.
