Abstract

Objective: to analyze the quality of life (QoL) of older adults practicing Pilates and identify associated sociodemographic and health factors. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted with 71 older adults using the WHOQOL-bref and WHOQOL-Old instruments. Results: significant differences were observed in the autonomy (p = 0.039) and intimacy (p = 0.001) facets by marital status; in all domains, as well as autonomy (p = 0.040) and past, present, and future activities (p = 0.020) facets, by self-perceived health; in the physical (p = 0.007) and self-evaluation (p = 0.014) domains by medication use; and in the past, present, and future activities facet (p = 0.014) by practice duration. Conclusion: marital status, self-perceived health, medication use, and practice duration influence the QoL of older adults practicing Pilates, highlighting the importance of individualized approaches.
