N2 - Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples in Latin America face a bleak social and economic outlook that is exacerbated in rural old age. This research aimed to identify and describe latent profiles of quality of life of these people in a multiethnic Chilean sample of 1692 older people in rural areas, and to characterise these profiles according to sociodemographic variables, territorial identity, depressive symptoms, loneliness and self-rated health. The results provide evidence on the level of perception of quality of life of the sample, resulting in a discussion on the specificity of the design of social policies for these groups.
