Objetivo: verificar os fatores socioeconômicos e de saúde associados à qualidade de vida (QV) de homens idosos rurais. Método: estudo descritivo, quantitativo com inquérito domiciliar e analítico realizado com 449 homens idosos da zona rural. Os dados foram coletados no período de junho de 2010 a março de 2011, em Uberaba-MG.
