Results. Among 206 people with leprosy, the frequency of CMD was 70.4% (95%CI 61.10;76.67) associated female sex (PR=1.29 – 95%CI 1.09;1.53), age ranges 26-45 (PR=1.52 – 95%CI 1.09;2.11) and 46-60 (PR=1,52 – 95%CI 1.09;2.11), low income (PR=1.25 – 95%CI 1.05;1.49), and unsatisfactory quality of life for physical (PR=3.03 – 95%CI 1.12;8.19) and psychological (PR=1.91; 95%CI 1.40;2.61) domains.

Conclusion. CMD in people with leprosy were often and associated with female sex, productive age group, low income and unsatisfactory quality of life. Actions aimed at mental health in this population group are necessary.
