O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a associação entre fatores socioeconômicos e qualidade de vida de idosos hipertensos atendidos pela Estratégia Saúde da Família na cidade de Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Consistiu em um estudo transversal analítico conduzido em amostra representativa de 294 idosos hipertensos. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário de caracterização socioeconômica e de qualidade de vida (MINICHAL). Os dados foram analisados por meio de testes não paramétricos de Mann-Witney e Kuskall-Wallis. Os resultados mostraram que o estado conjugal, a religião e a escolaridade afetam de maneira estatisticamente significativa a qualidade de vida de idosos hipertensos. Idosos hipertensos solteiro/divorciado/viúvo, evangélicos, espíritas e pertencentes a outras entidades religiosas, e analfabetos apresentaram menores escores de qualidade de vida. Para as demais variáveis analisadas não houve associação estatística. Conclui-se que os fatores socioeconômicos como estado conjugal, escolaridade e religião influenciam na qualidade de vida de idosos hipertensos.
