Abstract
Background: Obesity in adolescents is a global health issue with increasing prevalence in middle-income countries. This study aims to analyze the Health-Related Quality of Life of Adolescents with Obesity.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. The adolescents were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. In total, 62 adolescent patients with perpetuation of obesity were identified and interviewed. Agreed adolescents were given General information questionnaires and EQ-5D-5L. ANOVA was calculated using SPSS Version 21.
Results: More than half of adolescents (67.8%) were in the weight status of Obesity-I. The variables of Weight status, Physical activity, Duration of obesity, and Number of comorbidities were strongly correlated with health-related quality of life of adolescent patients since the P value of EQ-5D-5L and EQ-VAS were <0.05 level.
Conclusion: When compared to adolescents with obesity II and I status, adolescents with obesity III status had a lower health-related quality of life.
背景:青少年肥胖是一个全球性的健康问题,在中等收入国家的患病率越来越高。本研究旨在分析肥胖青少年的健康相关生活质量。方法:在某三级医院进行横断面研究。根据纳入和排除标准选择青少年。共有62名青少年肥胖患者被确定并接受了采访。同意的青少年得到一般信息问卷和EQ-5D-5L。方差分析采用SPSS Version 21进行计算。结果:超过半数(67.8%)的青少年处于肥胖- i型体重状态。体重状态、体力活动、肥胖持续时间、合并症数量等变量与青少年患者健康相关的生活质量密切相关,因为EQ-5D-5L和EQ-VAS的P值为:结论:与II型和I型肥胖状态的青少年相比,III型肥胖状态的青少年健康相关的生活质量较低。
