Its relevance is based on two points: on the one hand, due to the lack of development of this line of research (old age), within the study of masculinities; on the other hand, due to the progressive aging process that occurs in Mexico that poses important social policy challenges with a gender perspective. The article reflects some reflections on the aging process in demographic terms, differentiating from the sex of the elderly. Next, some theoretical and conceptual clarifications are made focused on the issue of masculinities and the quality of life in old age. Subsequently, the methodology is developed, which is quantitative and transversal, where data are collected from the Survey on Living Conditions of Older Adults in Mexico, 2016. Based on the information obtained in the survey, the analysis of the results is outlined, whose information shows that in old age men face vulnerability, especially with respect to their social environment, which may affect their quality of life. Finally, the work concludes with some reflections and analytical proposals that contemplate making visible the conditions and quality of life of the elderly male population in Mexico. El objetivo de este escrito es presentar un análisis de la calidad de vida de hombres adultos mayores residentes de tres entidades mexicanas, a partir de algunas dimensiones vinculadas con los entornos físicos y sociales. Su relevancia se sustenta en dos puntos: por un lado, debido a la falta de desarrollo de esta línea de investigación (vejez), dentro del estudio de las masculinidades; por otro lado, por el progresivo proceso de envejecimiento que se presenta en México que plantea retos importantes en materia de política social con perspectiva de género. En el artículo se plasman algunas reflexiones en torno al proceso de envejecimiento en términos demográficos, diferenciando a partir del sexo de las personas adultas mayores. Enseguida, se realizan algunas precisiones teórico-conceptuales enfocadas en el tema de las masculinidades y la calidad de vida en la vejez. Posteriormente, se desarrolla la metodología, misma que es de corte cuantitativo y transversal, en donde se retoman datos de la Encuesta sobre Condiciones de Vida de las Personas Adultas Mayores en México, 2016. A partir de la información obtenida en la encuesta se esboza el análisis de los resultados, en el cual se evidencia que en la vejez los varones enfrentan vulnerabilidad, especialmente respecto a su entorno social, lo cual puede llegar a afectar su calidad de vida. Finalmente, el trabajo concluye con algunas reflexiones y propuestas analíticas que contemplan visibilizar las condiciones y la calidad de vida de la población adulta mayor masculina en México.
