Tóm tắt
Aims: This study aimed to determine the nutritional status and quality of life among diabetic patients and assess the relationships between the two aspects.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 151 diabetic patients aged 40 years and older, who being treated at the General Hospital of Vinh City from February to September 2024. Nutrition status was assessed by body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) tool. Quality of life was assessed by EQ-5D-5L.
Results: The rate of overweight-obesity was relatively high among the study population (45.03%). A large majority (80.13%) of the participants were well-nourished according to SGA. Both male and female diabetic patients had waist-hip ratio higher than the recommended level at a very high rate (male: 75% and female: 95.18%). Mobility and pain/discomfort were the 2 dimensions in which most patients had to deal with. Median EQ-5D-5L and EQ-VAS scores were respectively 0.7787 and 60. SGA and BMI categories wee negatively associated with participants’ quality of life.
Conclusion: Nutritional status is associated with quality of life among diabetic patients. Therefore, it is necessary to create great actions on improving nutritional caring for patients with the disease.
