Resumen
La elección de llevar a cabo nuestro proyecto de investigación en esta comunidad se fundamenta en la difícil situación que enfrenta Barranquilla. Para los habitantes de la ciudad, la pobreza y la falta de recursos son evidentes, afectando no solo el ámbito económico, sino también los derechos y oportunidades sociales. Nos enfocamos específicamente en la población más vulnerable, los adultos mayores, quienes experimentan vulnerabilidad en diversos aspectos como el maltrato, la pérdida de roles sociales, la dependencia en patologías, la baja autoestima y la carencia económica que los obliga a depender de otros.
Nuestras técnicas de investigación incluyeron el análisis de páginas de opinión, la revisión de artículos de estudio sobre el adulto mayor y la observación directa de la problemática. La población de interés abarca a individuos de 65 a 80 años, siendo este rango seleccionado en concordancia con la definición de calidad de vida de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). La calidad de vida se entiende como la percepción del individuo sobre su posición en la vida, influida por diversos factores como la salud física, el estado psicológico, la independencia, las relaciones sociales y la interacción con el entorno.

For the inhabitants of the city, poverty and lack of resources are evident, affecting not only the economic sphere, but also social rights and opportunities. We focus specifically on the most vulnerable population, the elderly, who experience vulnerability in various aspects such as mistreatment, loss of social roles, dependence on pathologies, low self-esteem and economic deprivation that forces them to depend on others. Our research techniques included the analysis of opinion pages, the review of study articles on the elderly and direct observation of the problem. The population of interest includes individuals aged 65 to 80 years, this range being selected in accordance with the definition of quality of life of the World Health Organization (WHO). Quality of life is understood as the individual's perception of his or her position in life, influenced by various factors such as physical health, psychological state, independence, social relations and interaction with the environment.
