Description
Summary:To evaluate the health-related quality of life of adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, associating it with socio-demographic, clinical and biochemical variables. Cross-sectional study with 92 adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. A form containing socio-demographic, clinical and biochemical variables was used, as well as the Diabetes Quality of Life for Youths questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used for analysis. Regarding socio-demographic variables, economic class showed statistically significant differences in relation to total Health Related Quality of Life (p-value =0.02) and the impact domain (p-value =0.009). However, the impact domain was more compromised. Diabetes-related complications (p-value =0.004), number of hospitalizations (p-value =0.01), number of daily insulin injections (p-value =0.02), glycated hemoglobin (p-value =0.002) and triglycerides (p-value =0.03) were associated with greater impairment of quality of life related to total health and greater dissatisfaction. Single male adolescents with lower level of education and high glycated hemoglobin levels were more likely to have lower health-related quality of life.
