Abstract

Introduction: Due to the state of health emergency caused by SARS-CoV-2 (Covid19), the increase in the morbidity-mortality burden and sequelae following the disease have triggered factors such as sedentary lifestyle, atrophies, fatigue, generating a decrease in functionality and activity limitations.

Results: In this study, 54.2% were women with an average age of 52.4 years, who were health personnel, students and retirees the most affected with 16.7% -25.0% respectively. With respect to quality of life, 83.3% had a "Good" quality of life, 16.6% of the patients had a "Fair" quality of life, with the dimension "Impact" being the most affected with an average of 24.33 above the other dimensions.
