  "abstract": "Objective\n\nto analyze health-related quality of life and its correlation with metabolic control in older people with diabetes mellitus treated in Primary Health Care.Method\n\nobservational, cross-sectional, and correlational study involving 264 older individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, treated in primary health care. Health-related quality of life was assessed using the Short Form Health Survey version 2 questionnaire, and metabolic control was assessed through laboratory tests (fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile). Descriptive statistics and Spearman's correlation (α=0.05) were applied.Results\n\nparticipants had an average age of 70.23 years, 70.5% were women, and 86% had <9 years of education. The most compromised domain of health-related quality of life was pain, and the best performance was in emotional aspects. An inverse correlation was observed between general health status and HbA1c and between mental health and total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL.Conclusion\n\nhigher health-related quality of life scores, especially in the domains of general health and mental health, were associated with better metabolic control parameters, indicating the relevance of integrated approaches in the care of older people with diabetes mellitus in Primary Health Care.",
