Objective To study the association between body mass index (BMI) and the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the middle-aged and older Chinese people. Methods Data of 9539 middle-aged and older adults was collected from a cross-sectional survey performed in 9 provinces of China (Jiangsu, Anhui, Gansu, Qinghai, Fujian, Beijing, Jilin, Jiangxi and Henan province). MO SSF-36 was used to measure HRQOL. BMI classification was in accordance with the criteria recommended by the Ministry of Health of China. Rank sum test was used to compare HRQOL between subjects with normal weight and those with different BMI classification. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association of HRQOL with BMI after adjusted for sex, age, marital, education, physical activity status and chronic diseases. Results When compared with middle-aged and older adults at normal weight range (18.5≤BMI<24) , data on physical domain (P<0.001) , mental domain (P< 0.01) and 8 dimensions of HRQOL (physical functioning, mental health, P<0.05; role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, P<0.01)among subjects with underweight (BMI<18.5) were significantly lower while mental component summary (P<0.05) of overweight subjects (24≤BMI<28) was significantly higher. Obese subjects (BMI≥28) had worse physical function (physical functioning, P<0.01) but better mental health (mental health, P<0.01; mental component summary, P<0.05). After adjusting for other factors, and compared to middle aged and older adults with normal weight, data on odds ratios (ORs) of impaired HRQOL in physical domain (OR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.35-2.06), mental domain (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.13-1.70) and 8 dimensions increased among underweight subjects while ORs of impaired HRQOL in mental domain (0R=0.86,95% CI: 0.78-0.95) and role-physical, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and mental health dimensions decreased among overweight subjects. ORs increased (OR=1.51,95% CI: 1.27-1.80) in impaired HRQOL in physical functioning dimension but decreased in mental domain (OR=0.71,95%CI: 0.60-0.85) as well as vitality, role-emotional and mental health dimensions among obese subjects. Conclusion HRQOL of each domain were different among middle aged and older adults with different BM1 classification. Underweight people had poor HRQOL in both physical domain and psychological domain, and obese people had poor physical function but good mental health condition.

中国9省市中老年人群体重指数与健康相关生命质量的关系

目的 研究中国中老年人BMI与健康相关生命质量(HRQOL)的关系.方法 汇集9省市(汀苏、安徽、甘肃、青海、福建、北京、吉林、江西、河南)横断面健康状况调查中老年人群数据共9539例.采用秩和检验比较BMI分类不同的中老年人生命质量的差异;用多元logistic回归模型检验排除性别、年龄、婚姻状况、学历、运动水平和慢性病史等混杂因素后,中老年人BMI分类与生命质最的相关性.结果 与体重正常的中老年人相比,体重过轻组SF-36的生理领域(P<0.001)、心理领域(P<0.01)及其8个维度(生理机能、精神健康,P<0.05;生理职能、躯体疼痛、健康状况、精力、社会功能、情感职能,P<0.01)生命质量均显著较差;超重组心理领域生命质量显著较好(P<0.05);肥胖组生理机能维度显著较差(P<0.01),心理领域(P<0.05)、精神健康维度(P<0.01)显著较好.排除已知的混杂因素后,体重过轻组在生理领域(OR=1.67,95%CI:1.35～2.06)、心理领域(OR=1.39,95%CI:1.13～1.70)以及所有8个维度生命质量减损的危险度显著增高;超重组心理领域(OR=0.86,95%CI:0.78～0.95)及其生理职能、精力、社会功能、情感职能、精神健康维度生命质最受损的危险度显著降低;肥胖组生理机能维度(OR=1.51,95%CI:1.27～1.80)受损的危险度显著增高,心理领域(OR=0.71,95%CI:0.60～0.85)及其精力、情感职能、精神健康维度生命质量受损的危险度显著降低.结论 BMI分类不同的中老年人其SF-36各领域生命质量不同,体重过轻组生理领域和心理领域生命质量均较差,超重和肥胖组心理领域生命质最较好,肥胖组生理领域生命质量较差.超重和肥胖的中老年人生命质量的减损与慢性疾病有关.     

体质量指数在慢性非传染性疾病和健康相关生命质量间的调节效应

目的：探讨BMI在慢性非传染性疾病（慢病）和健康相关生命质量（HRQOL）间的调节变量和调节效应作用。方法从汇集9省市21948名调查对象的数据库中随机抽取性别、年龄结构与2005年全国1%人口抽样调查样本数据一致的8448人作为数据源,从中选择数据完整的8314名研究对象作为样本。采用多层回归分析方法研究变量间的调节效应。结果以HRQOL得分为因变量的回归方程中,交互作用项“慢病× BMI”的回归系数和新增解释量在SF-36生理领域均无统计学意义（β＝0.084,P＝0.142;ΔR2＝0.000,P＝0.142）,在心理领域均有统计学意义（β＝0.132,P＝0.034;ΔR2＝0.001,P＝0.034）。标准化回归系数比较发现,生理领域和心理领域均为“慢病”（-0.259;-0.187）对HRQOL的影响大于“BMI”（0.082;0.095）。结论 BMI在慢病和心理领域HRQOL之间存在调节效应。BMI值越高,慢病对心理领域HRQOL的负向影响越小。     

The independent effect of body mass index on health-related quality of life among racial and ethnic subgroups

Purpose

To evaluate the impact of race/ethnicity on the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among blacks, Hispanics, and whites.

Methods

We used the Sinai Urban Health Institute’s Improving Community Health Survey dataset to measure physical and mental HRQOL using the Physical Component Score (PCS-12) and the Mental Component Score (MCS-12) of the Short Form-12. Multivariate linear regression models were applied to the overall sample and in models stratified by race/ethnicity to evaluate the effects of BMI on physical and mental HRQOL outcome variables while controlling for confounders.

Results

Considering physical HRQOL, increasing BMI was independently associated with worse PCS-12 (β = ?0.22, p value <0.001) in the overall sample; the magnitude was not significantly different across racial/ethnic subgroups (blacks: β = ?0.18, p value = 0.02; Hispanics: β = ?0.28, p value = 0.01; whites: β = ?0.20, p value = 0.02). Overall, Hispanic participants reported a worse PCS-12 compared to whites (β = ?3.06, p value = 0.002). Considering mental HRQOL, BMI was not significantly associated with MCS-12 in the overall sample (β = ?0.06, p value = 0.21) nor was BMI significantly associated with MCS-12 in any racial/ethnic subgroups. Overall, black participants reported better MCS-12 compared to whites (β = 2.51, p value = 0.001).

Conclusions

BMI was associated with worse physical HRQOL to a similar degree among blacks, Hispanics, and whites. This finding suggests that interventions leading to obesity reduction should be associated with substantial and equal improvements in the physical HRQOL of all race/ethnicity groups.     

The relationship between health-related quality of life and weight loss

OBJECTIVE: This is a report of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) changes in obese patients completing at least 1 year of outpatient treatment in a weight reduction program combining phentermine-fenfluramine and dietary counseling. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Participants were 141 women (87.6%) and 20 men (12.4%) who had an average body mass index at intake of 41.1 kg/m(2) (SD = 7.0, range = 29.5 to 67.0 kg/m(2)) and an average age of 44.9 years (SD = 9.3, range = 23 to 65 years). HRQOL was assessed at intake and at 1-year follow-up using the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life (IWQOL)-Lite questionnaire. The relationship between HRQOL changes and weight loss was examined using Pearson correlations. Clinically meaningful change in HRQOL was defined as a 1.96 SEM reduction in IWQOL-Lite total score. RESULTS: On average, participants lost 20.2 kg or 17.6% of their weight over the 1-year period. Of the participants, 15.5% lost <10% of their weight, 24.2% lost 10% to 14.9%, 23.6% lost 15% to 19.9%, and 36.6% lost 20% or more. All five IWQOL-Lite scales and total score showed statistically significant improvement over the 1-year period. Changes in IWQOL-Lite scores from intake to 1 year showed statistically significant correlations with percentage of weight loss for all subscales and total score. Subscale correlations with weight loss ranged from 0.166 (Public Distress) to 0.396 (Physical Function) and was 0.370 for the total score. Forty-four percent of participants losing <10% met the criterion of clinically meaningful change, compared with 51.3% losing 10% to 14.9%, 55.3% losing 15% to 19.95%, and 76.3% losing >20%. For total score and for three of the five IWQOL-Lite scales (Physical Function, Self-Esteem, and Sexual Life), the relationship between weight loss and clinically meaningful change was linear and was significant at p < 0.05. Physical Function and Self-Esteem were most strongly affected by weight loss. DISCUSSION: HRQOL changes, as measured by an obesity-specific instrument (IWQOL-Lite), are strongly related to weight reduction.     

The relationship between body mass index and quality of life in community-living older adults living in the United States

Background

Carrying excess weight is associated with various chronic conditions especially in older adults, and can have a negative influence on the quality of life of this population.

Objective

The objective of this study was to estimate the independent (i.e. adjusted for demographic, socioeconomic and health status differences) impact of Body Mass Index (BMI) on health-related quality of life.

Design

A mail survey was sent to 60,000 older adults living in 10 states. Methods: The survey assessed quality of life using the average physical component scores (PCS) and mental component scores (MCS) obtained from the Veterans Rand 12-item (VR-12) health status tool embedded in the survey. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression techniques were used to estimate the independent impact of each BMI category on quality of life, compared to the impact of other chronic conditions.

Results

A total of 22,827 (38%) eligible sample members responded to the survey. Of those, 2.2% were underweight, 38.5% had a normal BMI, 37.0% were overweight, 18.5% were obese and 1.9% were morbidly obese. Following OLS regression techniques, respondents’ PCS values were statistically significantly lower for the underweight, overweight, obese and morbidly obese BMI categories, compared to the normal BMI group. Compared with all other chronic conditions, being morbidly obese (?6.0 points) had the largest negative impact on the PCS. Underweight was the only BMI category with a statistically significantly lower MCS value.

Conclusions

The greatest negative impacts of the various BMI categories on quality of life were on physical rather than mental aspects, especially for those in the underweight, obese and morbidly obese categories, more so than many other chronic conditions.

Body mass index and health-related quality of life in apparently healthy individuals

Purpose

Obesity is known to be associated with a range of chronic medical comorbidities, but little is known about the impact of overweight and obesity on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in persons without chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to assess HRQoL, body mass index (BMI) and health behavior patterns in a community sample of subjects who had no long-lasting medical comorbidities

Methods

We assessed HRQoL in 1,187 apparently healthy individuals (mean age 57 ± 7 years), of whom 24 % were classified as normal weight, 49 % as overweight, 20 % as obese and 7 % as very obese. Two different instruments of HRQoL were used: the generic Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire and the preference-based instrument EuroQol (EQ-5D).

Results

All physical components of the SF-36 decreased linearly according to BMI categories in women. In men, only poorer physical functioning scale showed linearity with rising BMI. Scores on the mental components of the SF-36 did not differ by BMI categories in either gender. The EQ-5D index and EuroQol visual analogue scale scores decreased linearly with rising BMI only in women.

Conclusions

In apparently healthy middle-aged subjects, physical HRQoL decreases with increasing level of BMI and more so in women than in men. Mental components of HRQoL do not differ between the categories of BMI in either gender.
