Se realizó análisis descriptivos y bivariados, mediante la prueba T de Student y Anova. Se observó que 70,5% presentaron por lo menos una enfermedad, y las principales referidas fueron la hipertensión, la artrosis, la depresión y la diabetes. En relación a la asociación entre los números de enfermedades, las personas mayores y las que refirieron tres o más enfermedades presentaron peores scores de QVRS en todos los dominios físicos y en las limitaciones por aspectos sociales y emocionales.El mayor número de morbilidades se asoció a los menores scores de calidad de vida relacionada a la salud.Palabras clave | Morbilidad; Calidad de Vida; Cuestionarios.

“…This finding was already expected, since in the study by Laguardia et al 33 all domains of quality of life had a reduction in their scores as the age group increased. This reduction in the social aspect score may be related to the aging process, which can be accompanied by several health problems, both physical and mental, usually caused by the presence of chronic diseases 34 , which may lead to social isolation.…”

“…In addition, besides the smoke load and the degree of nicotine dependence presenting a direct impact on the quality of life, we can infer that tobacco use disorder alone results in worsening of the quality of life, since, in relation to the values of normality for the Brazilian population of the SF-36 questionnaire 33 , smokers had lower scores in seven of the eight domains evaluated.…”

We can also observe a negative correlation between functional capacity and the Fagerström questionnaire score (p=0.004;r=-0.3). We concluded that the smoke load and the nicotine dependence levels were related to worse quality of life indices of the smoking population.Keywords | Tobacco Use Disorder; Quality of Life; Dependency Substance-related Disorders.RESUMO | O tabagismo é considerado uma doença crônica e uma das principais causas de mortes evitáveis no mundo.A qualidade de vida é uma importante medida de impacto na saúde e em sua relação com os níveis de dependência de nicotina e de carga tabagística, os quais ainda não estão totalmente esclarecidos.

Health-Related Quality of Life, Depression and Anxiety in Hospitalized Patients with Tuberculosis

BackgroundMuch of the attention of tuberculosis (TB) programs is focused on outcomes of microbiological cure and mortality, and health related quality of life (HRQL) is undervalued. Also, TB patients have a significantly higher risk of developing depression and anxiety compared with those in the general population. We intend to evaluate the HRQL and the prevalence of symptoms of depression and anxiety in hospitalized patients with TB.MethodsCross-sectional study in a tertiary care hospital in Brazil. Adult patients with pulmonary TB that were hospitalized during the study period were identified and invited to participate. HRQL was measured using the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) version 2. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to record symptoms of anxiety and depression.ResultsEighty-six patients were included in the analysis. The mean age of all patients was 44.6±15.4 years, 69.8% were male, and 53.5% were white. Thirty-two patients (37.2%) were human immunodeficiency virus positive. Twenty-seven patients (31.4%) met study criteria for depression (HADS depression score ≥11) and 33 (38.4%) had anxiety (HADS anxiety score ≥11). Scores on all domains of SF-36 were significantly lower than the Brazilian norm scores (p<0.001).ConclusionThe present study shows that TB patients may have a poor HRQL. Additionally, we found a possible high prevalence of depression and anxiety in this population. Health care workers should be aware of these psychological disorders to enable a better management of these patients. The treatment of these comorbidities may be associated with better TB outcomes.
