摘要
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus may affect profoundly the quality of life of patients. Aim: To assess health related quality of life among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Material and Methods: The Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) questionnaire was applied to 296 patients with diabetes mellitus aged 63 +/- 10 years (201 women) seen in primary health care centers. Results: The concern about the future effects of diabetes was the worst evaluated domain. Women perceived a lower health related quality of life than men. There was an inverse correlation between age and satisfaction with treatment, concern about vocational, social and future effects of the disease. Conclusions: Type 2 diabetes affects health related quality of life, especially in some specific domains such as perception of the future. (Rev Med Chile 2011; 139: 313-320).
