in hyperlipidemia patients, respectively. Higher comorbidity score was significantly associated with lower PCS and MCS scores (P,0.001). Having diabetes was significantly associated with decreased PCS score (P,0.001), while having mood disorder was not (p=0.409). Having mood disorder was significantly associated with decreased MCS score (P,0.001), while having diabetes was not (P=0.455). Conclusions: Concurrent hyperlipidemia and comorbidities worsen HRQoL measured by individuals physical and mental health status. Hyperlipidemia modification and management may improve patient HRQoL, and may reduce comorbidity complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
