          Abstract

          El estudio de la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores deviene en temática esencial para la mejora continua del estado de salud de este segmento de la población. En su abordaje se han identificado problemas conceptuales, metodológicos e instrumentales que constituyen retos para los profesionales e investigadores de la geriatría y gerontología y disciplinas conexas, tanto en el ámbito nacional como internacional. Estos elementos sirvieron de base para la elaboración de este trabajo que, en su desarrollo, incluyó los principales problemas que afectan el estudio del constructo, la producción instrumental para su evaluación y, en particular, la elaboración de dos escalas autóctonas cubanas para su utilización en la investigación, servicios especializados, docencia y a nivel poblacional en el país, y que pudiesen ser adaptada para otros contextos similares.

          Translated abstract

          The study of the quality of life in the elders becomes an essential issue for the continuous improvement of the health status of this population section. In approaching this issue, a number of conceptual, methodological and instrumental problems have been so far identified, which are also challenges for the professionals and researchers in the fields of geriatrics, gerontology and related disciplines both at national and international levels. These elements served as a basis for working out this paper which included the main problems affecting the study of the construct, the instrumental production for their evaluation, and particularly, the preparation of two Cuban-made scales for their use in research, specialized services, in education and at population level in the country. These scales could be also adapted for other similar settings.
