description The research identifies the effects of sociodemographic variables and quality of life in the academic performance of 465 students of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Magdalena. The methodology used for data collection consisted of the application of two instruments to students of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Magdalena, the instrument of Martha Artunduaga on variables that influence the achievement of the University and the instrument SF 36 was the quality of life in health. We conclude that there is no relationship between quality of life, sociodemographic factors and academic performance in the subjects of this sample. While a significant and inverse relationship between age and academic performance as well as the social status and academic performance was observed, showing that the lower the social stratum have better academic performance among younger and better academic performance, are relates this phenomenon by the fact that students are faced with strength and persistence of the difficulties perceiving education as an opportunity to overcome poverty as the core of the theory of social mobility.
