Tóm tắt

Aims: This study aimed to determine the nutritional status and quality of life among diabetic patients and assess the relationships between the two aspects.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 151 diabetic patients aged 40 years and older, being treated at the General Hospital of Vinh City from February to September 2024. Nutrition status was assessed using the body mass index (BMI), waist-hip-ratio (WHR), and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) tool. Quality of life was assessed by EQ-5D-5L.

Results: The rate of overweight/obesity was 45.03%. 80.13% of the participants were well-nourished according to SGA. 75.0% male and 95.2% female diabetic patients had a waist-hip-ratio higher than the recommended level . Mobility and pain/discomfort were the 2 dimensions in which most patients had to deal with. Median EQ-5D-5L and EQ-VAS scores were 0.7787 and 60, respectively. SGA and BMI categories were negatively associated with participants’ quality of life.

Conclusion: Nutritional status is associated with quality of life among diabetic patients. Therefore, it is necessary to take great action to improve nutritional care for patients with the disease.
