RESULTADOS: se determinó que 47% presentó calidad de vida alta, mientras que 41% poca calidad de vida. Predominó el sexo femenino con 64%, el grupo etario predominante es de 50 a 60 años con 42%. En cuanto a la ocupación, 60% se desempeñaba como ama de casa, 37% presentó dolor leve, 51% dolor moderado y 12% dolor severo, 44% de los pacientes presentó una capacidad funcional adecuada, 14% capacidad funcional con dificultades, mientras que 41% manifestó una capacidad funcional con graves dificultades. CONCLUSIÓN: La osteoartritis de rodilla afecta principalmente a mujeres entre 50 y 60 años, la mayoría dedicadas a actividades domésticas que implican esfuerzo físico y carga articular. Una parte importante de los pacientes reportó una calidad de vida alta, una proporción considerable presentó poca calidad lo que refleja limitaciones importantes en la realización de actividades de la vida diaria, una disminución en la independencia y bienestar de los pacientes. Estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de la detección y manejo oportuno para mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes.
