“…The perceived quality of life of the students involved in this research shows that the physical component obtains a better score than the mental component and these are perceived as more affected in women than in men, which reveals that the male gender possesses a higher self-perceived quality of life, and this is concurrent with other studies. 23,24 In general terms, as Marcos-Marcos and collaborators explain 25 in the public health area, it is inaccurate to search equality in men and women's health and, when analyzing their differences and similarities in health, it is interesting to take into consideration that they are rarely of pure biological nature or social order. 26 After dwelling in rural areas and moving to live in urban areas, life conditions vary, the places become narrower, the services more limited and the economy turns to be insufficient.…”

“…In order to classify the effectiveness of the capacity for self-care agency, the following ranges were established: High: for scores equal or greater than 76 points; Medium: for values equal or greater than 70 points and lower or equal to 75 points; and Low: for values of 69 points or lower. In turn, the instrument permits, on the basis of gathering questions, to determine 5 dimensions: "social interaction" (questions 12,22), which measures the ability to ask for help to others in case of needing to do so; "personal interaction" (questions 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 21 and 23), which measures the ability to obtain responses related to self-care based on inquiry and reflection; "(physical) activity and rest" (3,6,11,13,20), which highlights human, environmental factors and specific conditions that interfere in the balance between (physical) activity and rest; "sufficient food consumption" (question No 9) that measures the ability to change eating habits so as to maintain the body weight; and finally, "promoting functioning and personal development" (1,10,18,24), which identifies the ability to adapt to the environment and the circumstances for their self-care, that means, this represents the activities and changes a person does in order to maintain the conditions that support vital processes and foster human progress.…”

“…[3][4][5] A lo largo del tiempo se ha investigado sobre CdV desde diferentes enfoques, haciendo énfasis en el significado que las personas le dan al aspecto socioeconómico. 6,7 No obstante, recientes investigaciones incluyen otros elementos que pueden influir en la apreciación de la CdV como son las condiciones físicas, psicológicas y sociales, concibiendo más holística la concepción que se tiene de esta. [8][9][10] Por lo tanto, la valoración de la CdV realizada correctamente debe tener en cuenta todos estos aspectos, dado que se ha demostrado que los indicadores de CdV, como el funcionamiento emocional, físico, social, cognitivo y de roles, están interrelacionados y correlacionados.…”
