ABSTRACT
This study aims to evaluate the quality of life in the field of spirituality, religiousness, personal beliefs and associated factors in long-lived elderly. For this purpose, the World Health Organization Quality of Life - Spirituality, Religiousness and Personal Beliefs questionnaire was used, through a descriptive, cross-sectional study, with the participation of 100 elderly people. It has been found that quality of life is probably related to self-esteem and personal/spiritual well-being. In this context, health professionals need to be engaged and incorporate this knowledge, especially those linked to Primary Health Care services.
