Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) as a chronic disease is a major public health problem worldwide. It is important to improve the quality of life of people with DM, especially health-related aspects, which should be monitored and managed as part of diabetes management. Accordingly, this study investigated health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and identified predictors of HRQoL in Korean adults with DM using the Seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII) 2016–2018. This was a cross-sectional study with a stratified multistage probability sampling design that collected data from 1228 participants aged 30–80 years diagnosed with DM. HRQoL was measured using the Euro Quality of Life Five Dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaire. Analyses consisted of one-way analysis of variance, t -tests, chi-squared tests, and general linear regression analyses with complex sampling designs. Results demonstrated that low HRQoL was associated with older age ( β = −0.002, 95% CI: −0.003 to −0.001), having elementary school education or less ( β = −0.037, 95% CI: −0.061 to −0.014), being unmarried ( β = −0.060, 95% CI: −0.078 to −0.040), poor subjective health status ( β = −0.074, 95% CI: −0.094 to −0.055), perceived high stress ( β = −0.047, 95% CI: −0.066 to −0.028), limited activity ( β = −0.105, 95% CI: −0.131 to −0.079), being overweight ( β = −0.021, 95% CI: −0.038 to −0.002), or obese ( β = −0.016, 95% CI: −0.032 to −0.001), and three or more comorbidities ( β = −0.044, 95% CI: −0.085 to −0.001). Comprehensive health care programs to manage these predictors should be provided to improve health-related quality of life of patients with DM.
