Quality of life is a construct of significant relevance for the general population and must be studied in a multidimensional way particularly during a pandemic or endemic. The objective of this study was to assess quality of life levels and its relationship with anxiety, depression, and stress for a population living through the Covid-19 endemic. Methodologically, this is a descriptive and cross-sectional study evaluating 384 people over 18 years old. The study applied the WHOQOL-BREF and the abbreviated DASS-21 tests to assess quality of life and emotional symptoms. Results: participants reported an adequate perception of quality of life and mild emotional systems. Likewise, the study observed correlation between the variables analyzed (-0.72 and -0.95).
