To evaluate the effect of different demographic, clinical and social factors on diabetic patients' quality of life (QOL).
A cross sectional study conducted on patients with type 2 diabetes who attended King Abdulaziz University Hospital outpatient clinics between February and March 2017. The patients were asked about sociodemographic data including age, sex, educational level, exercise history and marital status in addition to clinical data such as duration of diabetes, presence of comorbidities as well as medication history. The patients' QOL were assessed using EQ-5D-5L Arabic version.
131 participants were included in the study with a median age 55 years old. Forty five percent of participants were male. Regarding EQ-5D scores, there were significant correlation with gender, exercise, hypertension, heart disease, marital status, educational level and duration of diabetes while there was a significant difference in EQ-VAS scores with respect to heart disease, level of education and duration of diabetes.
More attention needs to be given to the assessment of the QOL of diabetic patients and assessing the effect of different treatment modalities on improvement of patients' QOL.
评估不同人口统计学、临床和社会因素对糖尿病患者生活质量（QOL）的影响。
对2017年2月至3月期间在阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院门诊就诊的2型糖尿病患者进行横断面研究。除了糖尿病病程、合并症情况以及用药史等临床数据外，还询问了患者的社会人口统计学数据，包括年龄、性别、教育程度、运动史和婚姻状况。使用EQ-5D-5L阿拉伯语版本评估患者的生活质量。
131名参与者纳入研究，中位年龄55岁。45%的参与者为男性。关于EQ-5D评分，其与性别、运动、高血压、心脏病、婚姻状况、教育程度和糖尿病病程存在显著相关性，而EQ-VAS评分在心脏病、教育程度和糖尿病病程方面存在显著差异。
需要更加关注糖尿病患者生活质量的评估以及评估不同治疗方式对改善患者生活质量的影响。
