Quality Of Life of Hypertensive Patients on Different Types of Antihypertensive Medications

Background: Hypertension(HTN) is a major cardiovascular disease and is a major worldwide clinical problem. The prevalence of hypertension increases in urban and rural areas. The treatment of hypertension began in the 1960s with oral diuretics. The other modalities of treatment of hypertension are beta-blockers, calcium-channel blockers, alphareceptors blockers, ACE inhibitors and ARBs. The better compliance occurs with single-pill combination, and may be even double or even triple pill combination therapy should be used. Also quality of life was improved better with Metoprolol and Telmisartan as compared with Metoprolol and Ramipril. Quality of life was assessed by SF-36 Quiestionnare. Objective: To compare the effect of Metoprolol and Telmisartan versus Metoprolol and Ramipril on BP and quality of life in patients of hypertension. Material and Methods: In this prospective, open, randomized, parallel group, comparative study, 80 patients of hypertension attending the Cardiology Outpatient Department, Govt.

“…Various medical complications are associated with diabetes mellitus which have an adverse effect on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) leading to inadequate functioning of body physically (Cong et al , 2012; Scollan-Koliopoulos et al , 2013). Diabetes mellitus has an undesirable effect on a number of health concerns which also includes QOL (Shanableh et al , 2014). HRQOL is defined as physical, emotional and social components of health that are impacted by a person’s experiences, attitude, presumptions and perceptions.…”

Purpose Diabetes mellitus has become a major world health problem that has unenviable impacts on health of the people including quality of life (QOL) also and in which person’s physical and psychological state, social commitments and relationships and his interaction with the environment is affected. This shows that there is an urgent need for behavior change and considerable educational strategies for proper management and rehabilitation (Reddy, 2000). This research has identified and ranked the significant factors which affect the QOL in diabetic patients in India. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, nine factors which affect the QOL in diabetic patients in India have been identified through review of the literature and evaluated by total interpretive structural modeling (TISM) approach, i.e. an extended version of ISM. In this approach, interpretations of the interrelationship among factors have been discussed. Therefore, TISM approach has been used to develop the model and the mutual interactions among these factors. Findings The results of the model and MICMAC analysis indicate that diet restriction, body pain and satisfaction with treatment are the top-level factors. Practical implications Identification of the factors that have a remarkable effect on the QOL in diabetic patients is very important so that the doctors and other healthcare professionals may handle these factors efficiently and proper rehabilitation can be provided to such patients. Originality/value This paper has used an application of the TISM approach to interpret the mutual relationship by using the tool of interpretive matrix and has developed a framework to calculate the drive and the dependence power of factors using MICMAC analysis. The issues related to QOL are extremely important, as they can strongly anticipate a person’s capability to govern his lifestyle with disease like diabetes mellitus and maintain good health in the long run. This shows the urgent requirement of an optimized model which can predict and interpret the relationships among these factors. In this research, the interrelationships among these factors have been developed and interpretations of these interactions have been given to develop a comprehensive model so that QOL of diabetic patients may be improved.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the risk of developing type 2 diabetes among Ajman University (AU) staff in the coming 10 years. Method: The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) questionnaire was used. This test is used to estimate the risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes in the next 10 years. It is a questionnaire-based survey. AU staff of both genders from different colleges and departments were invited to participate. A consent form signed by participants who accepted to be enrolled in this study. A Finnish Type 2 Diabetes Risk Score test (FINDRISC) was used to categorize the patients in to very high risk, high risk, moderate or low risk of developing diabetes within the next 10 years of life. SPSS version 24 was used in the data analysis. Results: Our results revealed that in the sample studied, the majority of the staff (42.30%) with high risk factors of having type 2 diabetes within 10 years while the minority (6%) with low risk factors of having type 2 diabetes within 10 years of life. Conclusion: The study findings emphasized the urgent need to implement national strategies to reduce the risk factors of type 2 diabetes. Conducting health education programs to increase the awareness about diabetes and how to manage the modifiable risk factors is the key to tackle the problem.
