“…The percentage of individuals reporting problems in each of the EQ-5D dimensions showed that pain and mobility were the most common problems among subjects. This pattern was similar to those reported recently in a local survey in Birjand, Iran, 11 and the surveys conducted in Saudi Arabia 38 and Jordan. 28 The results of the difference in HRQoL score in each factor and effective factors on HRQoL are discussed in two separate groups: demographic and clinical factors.…”

“…Studies carried out on the HRQoL of the patients with T2DM often found that mean HRQoL of male was higher than that of the female patients. 11,14,28,38 These findings were observed in our study. The main reason for higher HRQoL in men compared to women is the higher level of physical activity in men in developing countries like Iran, as shown in a systematic review on physical activity.…”

Background: Assessing the health-related quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is important for evaluation of treatment outcome. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and its related factors in Yazd. Methods: Data were gathered by using the EuroQoL-five-dimension-5 level instrument as well as using medical records of 734 outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were referred to the largest governmental diabetes center in South of Iran, Yazd province. When appropriate, the Kruskal–Wallis test or the Wilcoxon test was used to test the difference in the health-related quality-of-life scores in each factor. Finally, the adjusted limited dependent variable mixture model was developed to investigate factors associated with health-related quality-of-life scores. Results: The mean and median of the EuroQoL-five-dimension-5 level index values of 717 patients who completed the questionnaires were 0.75 ± 0.006 and 0.72 ± 0.20, respectively, and those of the Visual Analogue Scale scores were 69.25 ± 0.63 and 75 ± 30, respectively. The mean scores for health-related quality of life were significantly higher for employed, educated, single, and male patients, as well as patients without comorbidities, diabetes-related complications, and hemoglobin A1c level >7%. Adjusted limited dependent variable mixture model showed that gender, age, marital status, and diabetes-related complications are significant independent predictors of EuroQoL-five-dimension-5 level index value. Conclusion: The mean scores for health-related quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were moderate in this study, and this finding is consistent with health-related quality-of-life scores reported in other studies conducted in the Middle East region. Therefore, health-related quality of life should be the most important consideration in the management of patients. In parallel, some factors, especially gender, should be considered to improve health-related quality of life.

“…In China, the QoL scale was developed for diabetic patients in 1997, which measured the four dimensions of life, heart, society, and treatment; in 2005, a special tool was used for evaluating the QoL of diabetic patients, which is developed from the dimensions of disease, physiology, psychology, society, and satisfaction in 87 items; Fu et al (2010) simplified the QoL scale of 2005, from 87 items to 39 items according to Chinese national conditions, and made it more effective and kept its dimension unchanged. A large number of studies have shown that the QoL of patients with T2DM is significantly lower than that of healthy people ( Schulze and Hu, 2005 ; Alshayban and Royes, 2020 ). PA has closed relationship with QoL ( Nana et al, 2012 ).…”

The Degree of Influence of Daily Physical Activity on Quality of Life in Type 2 Diabetics

Objectives: This study mainly explored the degree of influence of daily physical activity (PA) on the quality of life (QoL) and then provided a basis for improving PA and QoL in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: Long International PA Questionnaire (IPAQ-L) and Diabetic Mellitus QoL Scale (DMQLS) were used to investigate the daily PA and QoL, respectively, of patients with T2DM. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS19.0 data analysis software. The correlation between PA and QoL was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis and the degree of influence of PA on the QoL of patients with T2DM was analyzed by optimal scale regression analysis. Results: The total daily PA of the participants was 1172.79 ± 1266.23 MET-min/week and the overall score of QoL was 149.17 ± 17.16 points. Positive correlation has been found between PA and QoL and all its dimensions (all P < 0.05). It was found in the optimal scale regression that among many influencing factors, PA was significant and ranks first in importance among factors of the patient’s total QoL (importance = 0.432, P < 0.05) and its disease, physiological, psychological, and social dimension. The degrees of influence of PA on sub-dimensions of QoL were in the following order: physiology (0.476), society (0.441), disease (0.388), psychology (0.377), and satisfaction (0.089). Conclusion: The level of daily PA of patients with T2DM in southwestern China was moderate. Among the influencing factors such as gender, age, course of disease, education background, monthly income, BMI, work status, and complications, daily PA is the most important factor for QoL and its physiological, social, psychological, and disease dimension. The degrees of influence of daily PA on sub-dimensions of QoL were (in descending order) as follows: physiology, social, disease, psychology, and satisfaction. Therefore, in view of the importance of daily PA for QoL, more attention should be paid to the daily PA of T2DM patients in the future, including the study on more targeted testing methods, promotion strategies of daily PA, and its more extensive positive effects.

“…In previous study, more males were involved in physical activities compared to females, particularly in developing countries such as Bangladesh and Arab countries. In some countries, females were mostly staying at home as housewives (Alshayban & Joseph, 2020;Al-Aboudi, Hassali, & Shafie, 2016). Other demographic factors that contributed to poor behaviour, such as level of education, marital status and duration of disease (Al-Maskari et al, 2013).…”

Globally, diabetes is a major public health concern and has impacted an estimated 425 million adults. The increasing trend of diabetes incidence has impacted the Malaysian population and healthcare system. Evidence from studies suggested that diabetes can be treated and controlled through behavioural intervention. These include combining lifestyle with pharmacotherapy. Scholars in health behaviour highlighted the importance of assessing and monitoring the behavioural intervention among diabetic patients in terms of psychosocial aspects, such as information, motivation and behavioural factors, in relations with diabetes self-care. This article provides an overview of the empirical evidence regarding the importance of identifying information, motivation and behavioural factors, in relations with diabetes self-care. Information is among the prominent factors in establishing good diabetes management. Motivation can be conceptually defined as factors that predispose one to action and cues to behaviour change. Behavioural factors identified in this review includes compliance towards diabetes self-care. The outcome of this review could provide a better understanding of information, motivation and behavioural factors, and its relations with diabetes self-care.
