This study evaluated the association between quality of life and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) status, and whether this association differs between Hispanics and non-Hispanic Whites.
Between 1986 and 1989, cross-sectional data on perceived quality of life (PQOL) were collected from 223 persons with NIDDM and 753 non-diabetic subjects.
After adjustment, persons with NIDDM rated their PQOL significantly lower than did control subjects. The relationship of diabetes and PQOL did not differ by ethnicity. The number of complications of diabetes was not associated with lower PQOL scores.
Control and treatment strategies should reflect an understanding of the impact that diabetes has on social functioning, leisure activities, and physical and mental health.
本研究评估了生活质量与非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(NIDDM)状态之间的关联,以及这种关联在西班牙裔和非西班牙裔白人之间是否存在差异。
在1986年至1989年期间,收集了223名NIDDM患者和753名非糖尿病受试者关于感知生活质量(PQOL)的横断面数据。
经过调整后,NIDDM患者对其PQOL的评分显著低于对照组受试者。糖尿病与PQOL之间的关系在不同种族间并无差异。糖尿病并发症的数量与较低的PQOL评分无关。
控制和治疗策略应反映出对糖尿病对社会功能、休闲活动以及身心健康影响的理解。
