摘要

背景:在希腊人群中，肥胖与健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)之间的关系迄今尚未得到研究。因此，本研究的目的是在希腊健康成人样本中探讨肥胖相关的HRQoL预测因子。方法:采用横断面设计。样本包括327名生活在雅典的健康男性(N=105)和女性(N=222)，年龄在30至50岁之间(平均年龄=39.57±6.68)。评估身体质量指数(BMI)、腰臀比(WHR)和体脂(BF)。HRQoL采用短表36 (SF-36)健康调查进行评估，该调查由8个分量表和2个健康因素(生理和心理健康)组成。社会人口变量和健康相关行为通过问卷进行评估。分别进行分层回归分析，检验BMI、WHR、BF和SF-36健康调查分量表和因素之间的关系。结果:社会人口统计学和健康相关变量与HRQoL亚量表和因子有中度相关性。此外，在控制社会人口学变量和健康相关行为后，BMI负向预测身体功能、身体角色、身体疼痛和社会功能分量表以及身体健康因素，WHR和BF负向预测身体功能分量表。然而，肥胖指数并不能预测其他心理健康量表。结论:结果表明，在希腊健康成人样本中，BMI、WHR、BF与身体功能和健康呈负相关。通过BMI、WHR和BF评估的总肥胖和腹部肥胖与HRQoL的相关数据，迄今为止尚未在文献中报道。本研究的一个局限性是样本量相对较小，结果不能推广到整个希腊人口。

he association of total and abdominal obesity with Health-Related Quality of Life in a sample of Greek healthy adults

Background: in the Greek population, the association between obesity and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) has not been examined so far. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to explore obesity-related predictors of HRQoL in a sample of Greek healthy adults. Methods: a cross-sectional design was used. The sample consisted of three hundred twenty seven healthy men (N=105) and women (N=222), between the ages of 30 and 50 years (mean age=39.57 ± 6.68) who lived in Athens. Body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), and body fat (BF) were assessed. HRQoL was evaluated using the short-form 36 (SF-36) health survey, which consists of eight subscales and two health factors (physical and psychological health). Socio-demographic variables and health-related behaviours were assessed by questionnaires. Separate hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to examine the associations between BMI, WHR, BF and SF-36 health survey subscales and factors. Results: socio-demographic and health-related variables were moderately associated with the HRQoL subscales and factors. Furthermore, after controlling the socio-demographic variables and health-related behaviours, (a) BMI negatively predicted the physical functioning, physical role, bodily pain, and social functioning subscales, as well as the physical health factor and (b) WHR and BF negatively predicted the physical functioning subscale. However, the obesity indexes did not predict other psychological health subscales. Conclusions: the results indicated negative associations of BMI, WHR, BF with physical functioning and health in a sample of Greek healthy adults. Such data relating total and abdominal obesity to HRQoL, as assessed by BMI, WHR, and BF, have not been reported until now in the literature. One limitation of this study was that the sample size was relatively small and the results could not be generalized to the entire Greek population.

期刊介绍： Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Public Health (EBPH) is a multidisciplinary journal that has two broad aims: -To support the international public health community with publications on health service research, health care management, health policy, and health economics. -To strengthen the evidences on effective preventive interventions. -To advance public health methods, including biostatistics and epidemiology. EBPH welcomes submissions on all public health issues (including topics like eHealth, big data, personalized prevention, epidemiology and risk factors of chronic and infectious diseases); on basic and applied research in epidemiology; and in biostatistics methodology. Primary studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are all welcome, as are research protocols for observational and experimental studies. EBPH aims to be a cross-discipline, international forum for scientific integration and evidence-based policymaking, combining the methodological aspects of epidemiology, biostatistics, and public health research with their practical applications.
