“…The perception of the quality of life is subjective, dependent not only on one’s state of physical and mental health, self-reliance, social relations or environmental factors, but also on their life position, interests, life activity, attitudes and adopted systems of values. Many studies into the quality of life concern people who are ill [13], but there are also studies into the quality of life of the healthy populations in the context of lifestyle, forms of spending free time, and physical exercise [14]. The relationships between the increase in the level of physical activity and the quality of life are not conclusive.…”

Background: The quality of life of a society is conditioned by many factors, and depends, among other things, on preferred behavior patterns. Combat sports (CS) and martial arts (MA) have a special educational potential in the area of shaping positive behavior patterns and transmitting moral values which could help reduce aggression in society. The aim of the work was to determine the relationship between health behaviors and the quality of life of people who practice combat sports and martial arts (CS and MA) recreationally, in addition to practicing other sports, and as competitors at the master level. Methods: The research embraced 543 people who practice combat sports and martial arts. Three groups were selected: recreational (n = 362), people who reconciled practicing various sports (n = 115), and competitors who practiced combat sports or martial arts at the master level (n = 66). The average age of the respondents was 24.49 ± 7.82. The standardized WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and another questionnaire for a lifestyle survey were applied. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare several independent samples. In the case of determining statistical significance of differences the Mann-Whitney test was employed, and for the qualitative data analyses the trait frequency and the independence chi-square test were used. The effect size was calculated for each test ( E R 2 , rg, Cramér’s V). The value of p ≤ 0.05 was assumed to be statistically significant. Results: The highest quality of life (in the physical, psychological and environmental domains) was characteristic of the competitors, who practiced only combat sports and martial arts. They also displayed the most health-oriented behaviors. The surprising results were: lower quality of life in the assessment of nondrinkers and nonsmokers, and higher among people who were overweight. Conclusions: We have found positive correlations between practicing CS and MA, health behaviours and higher scores in quality of life self-evaluation, particularly where practitioners are exclusively focused on CS and MA and practice these at a competitive level. Our findings thus support the growing evidence that competitive level CS and MA are an effective means of improving people’s quality of life. Future research needs to clarify whether CS and MA can also be recommended to recreational and non-competitive practitioners as a means to improve their subjective quality of life.

“…Thus signi cant improvement in HRQoL was observed in Indian patients after OLT from our study indicating positive outcomes in both mental and physical health status. Kotarska et al 27 reported that liver severity analyzed with CTP and MELD scores before LT had a minimal effect on HRQoL after LT and exerts an insigni cant effect on patients evaluated 1 year after LT. Few studies showed that there is no correlation between HRQoL and severity of the liver disease like Ortega et al 24 reported that MELD and CTP scores did not correlate with HRQoL either before or after transplantation.…”

BACKGROUND Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important measure of the effects of end stage liver disease in affected patients that helps to improve well-being after Liver transplantation (LT). One study has been performed to access HRQoL pre and post liver transplant (LT) patients in India. Our study was aimed to determine HRQoL in pre and post orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) with correlation between severity of liver disease by Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD)/Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) status with HRQoL post OLT. METHODS Study was designed as a single center, observational, prospective and longitudinal study. HRQoL was evaluated by SF-36 questionnaire in sixty (50 male and 10 female with average age of 45 years) patients with end stage liver disease; having HCV related cirrhosis with alcoholic and cryptogenic liver disease forming the second and third largest groups respectively. HRQoL was evaluated pre and post OLT also correlation of MELD/CTP scores and diabetes status with post-OLT HRQoL was determined. Patients were followed up for a period of 3 months after OLT. RESULTS Post OLT patients had higher scores in comparison to pre OLT. There was a significant difference in all eight domains of the SF-36 scores (p < 0.001) post OLT. Negative correlation was observed between MELD/CTP scores and HRQoL post OLT with significance in the domain of vitality and mental component summary in MELD and physical functioning in CTP (p < 0.05). Diabetes did not exert any significant effect on HRQoL. CONCLUSIONS OLT have an improved HRQoL when compared to their pre transplant status. MELD/CTP scores were not predictive of HRQoL post OLT, while DM status did not exhibit any effect on HRQoL after OLT.
