This study examined health-related quality of life (HRQoL) across weight categories in adolescents using both a general and a condition-specific measure sensitive to fatigue symptoms. Participants (N = 918) completed the Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) Inventory and PedsQL Multidimensional Fatigue Scale measures. Actual height and weight were used to calculate body mass index for age and sex percentiles and assign weight categories. No interaction effects between total HRQoL and weight category and gender were found; however, main effects were found for both weight category and gender. Future research should examine the impact of using different measures to assess HRQoL outcomes across weight categories.
本研究使用对疲劳症状敏感的一般和特定疾病测量方法,对青少年不同体重类别下的健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)进行了研究。参与者(N = 918)完成了儿童生活质量(PedsQL)量表和PedsQL多维疲劳量表测量。使用实际身高和体重计算年龄和性别百分位的体重指数,并划分体重类别。未发现总HRQoL与体重类别和性别之间的交互作用;然而,发现了体重类别和性别的主效应。未来的研究应探讨使用不同测量方法评估不同体重类别下HRQoL结果的影响。
