A descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney test, p-value <0.05 was used for analysis. Results: There was statistically significant association and indicative of worse QOL between total score with the place of origin of the north zone and pain presence; an emotional state with age until 59 years old and venous ulcer time less or equal to one year; aesthetics with age until 59 years old.
