This study aimed to investigate the effects of regulation of nutritional habits on quality of life by applying Short Form (SF-36) Quality of Life Scale.
SF-36 was administered through face-to-face interviews to a total of 129 individuals (112 female, 17 male) aged 18-65 years. Anthropometric measurements, body mass index, and waist circumference measurement were undertaken simultaneously. The changes in weight, body mass index, waist circumference measurement, and SF-36 scores were compared at baseline and three months after modification of dietary habits.
At three months after the regulation of dietary habits, a statistically significant decrease was found in weight, body mass index, and waist circumference measurements (p<0.05). Overall improvement was observed in all the quality of life parameters assessed with SF-36, and among them, the sub-scales of general health, bodily pain and vitality were statistically significant (p<0.05). The improvement in these sub-scale scores was similar to the literature.
The individuals who lost weight through adopting healthy dietary habits had increased SF-36 scores, indicating the positive effect of regulating diet on their quality of life.
本研究旨在通过应用简短健康调查问卷(SF-36)生活质量量表来调查营养习惯调节对生活质量的影响。
通过面对面访谈对总共129名年龄在18至65岁之间的个体(112名女性,17名男性)进行SF-36问卷调查。同时进行人体测量、体重指数和腰围测量。比较饮食习惯改变前后基线水平及三个月后的体重、体重指数、腰围测量值和SF-36评分的变化。
在饮食习惯调节三个月后,体重、体重指数和腰围测量值出现了具有统计学意义的下降(p<0.05)。使用SF-36评估的所有生活质量参数均有总体改善,其中,总体健康、身体疼痛和活力子量表具有统计学意义(p<0.05)。这些子量表评分的改善与文献报道相似。
通过采用健康饮食习惯减轻体重的个体SF-36评分增加,表明饮食调节对其生活质量有积极影响。
