human being. Due to the increasing interest in the study of the quality of life of people, its relation with the general health of those hospitalized in an institution in Granada, Spain, was analyzed. Materials and Methods: The study was a quantitative, transversal and descriptive. Sample subjects were selected from a stratified aleatory sample of patients in an institution
in Granada, Spain. The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), which evaluates the energy, pain, emotional reaction, sleep, social isolation and physical mobility of the patient, was administered to each patient. Once administered the profile, using the average value, a general health profile index of the previously mentioned areas was calculated. Results: A mean score of 46.44 in general health (SD: 21.10; CI OF 95%: 43.92-48.96)
was obtained from the NHP. It can be observed that as a hospitalized person’s health gets compromised, an overall decline can be observed in the areas measured by the
NHP. Likewise, there is a tendency of a decline in a hospitalized person’s health as their,age increments. Also, when compared to men, women presented a greater decline in m their general health (p = 0.000).
