The present study was conducted to assess the quality of life (QOL) of Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM) and to explore possible factors associated with QOL among them.A cross-sectional study of 370 MSM in Dalian and Huludao city was conducted to evaluate QOL in MSM using the Chinese version of the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). A t test was used to compare the QOL score of our sample with the Chinese norm. ANOVA, t test, and multivariate linear regression analysis were used to assess the association of QOL with basic characteristics.The QOL score of MSM was lower than the Chinese norm (P < .05). Multivariate analysis showed that marital status and monthly income were factors associated with physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) among MSM population (P < .05). Married MSM had poorer QOL, and respondents with higher income levels had better QOL.The government may need to develop more effective prevention strategies to improve the mental component of QOL in the Chinese MSM population, especially the married MSM population.
本研究旨在评估中国男男性行为者（MSM）的生活质量（QOL），并探讨其生活质量的相关影响因素。对大连和葫芦岛市的370名男男性行为者进行了一项横断面研究，采用中文版36项简短健康调查问卷（SF-36）评估其生活质量。用t检验将样本的生活质量得分与中国常模进行比较。采用方差分析、t检验和多元线性回归分析评估生活质量与基本特征的关联。男男性行为者的生活质量得分低于中国常模（P<0.05）。多因素分析显示，婚姻状况和月收入是男男性行为人群中与生理健康综合评分（PCS）和心理健康综合评分（MCS）相关的因素（P<0.05）。已婚男男性行为者生活质量较差，收入水平较高的受访者生活质量较好。政府可能需要制定更有效的预防策略，以改善中国男男性行为人群，尤其是已婚男男性行为者生活质量的心理方面。
