Calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en personas con hipertensión y diabetes mellitus

Objective: To determine the sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) among people with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study in a sample of 184 users of a cardiovascular risk control program in Bucaramanga (Colombia). The EQ-5D-3L instrument was used to assess quality of life. A multiple linear regression model was carried out using the Visual Analog Scale as the outcome and the dimensions of the EQ-5D as possible predictors, adjusting for age, sex, intervention group (instrumental variable), and clinical variables such as the disease and its control. Results: The median of age was 63 years, 73.3% women, 88.0% low socioeconomic level; Median Systolic Blood Pressure of 130 mmHg (116.0-145.0) and HbA1c 5.7% (5.4-6.2) in the general population, showing statistically significant differences between the pathology groups. The median of Visual Analog Scale was 80(Q1: 59-Q3: 95) points, with no statistically significant differences between the pathology groups. Manifesting pain/discomfort, problems with usual activities and lack of hypertension control decreased the perception of HRQoL, by 7.5, 18.1 and 7.3 points, respectively. Conclusions: The HRQoL in general was high. It was higher among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Factors related to the functionality and control of the disease were associated with a lower perception HRQoL.
