Introduction: In recent years, the study of quality of life and healthy lifestyles has gained significant importance in the scientific and healthcare fields.
Objective: To determine the relationship between quality of life, its dimensions, and lifestyles in the population of Sucre, Colombia.
Methods: A descriptive correlational cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of (n = 500) residents of the Sucre department who voluntarily chose to participate. Quality of life assessment was carried out using the WHOQOL-Bref instrument, and lifestyles were assessed through the fantastic questionnaire.
Results: Overall quality of life showed negligible correlation with lifestyles in this population (0.000, p<0.998). Health-related quality of life exhibited a low negative correlation with lifestyles (-0.038, p<0.396). The physical dimension displayed a low negative correlation with lifestyles (-0.041, p>0.363). The psychological dimension (0.010, p<0.830) and social relationships dimension (0.006, p<0.885) demonstrated very weak positive relationships with lifestyles. The environmental dimension showed a strong and statistically significant negative correlation with lifestyles (-0.124, p<0.005).
Conclusions: Ultimately, it was established that there is no consistent relationship between overall quality of life, health-related quality of life, and lifestyles, as they exhibited weak and non-significant correlations. The findings suggest that healthy lifestyles do not determine the perception of quality of life in this population.
