“…However, the QOL pattern in the domains was similar to that of other Brazilian studies, with the domain social relationships showing a better mean and the environment domain scoring a lower mean, usually because they are carried out in communities that are located in areas of greater social vulnerability 12,15,17 .

DM has a significant physical and emotional impact, culminating in the reduction of the autonomy and self-confidence of these individuals, altering their self-perception so that they see themselves as unable to fulfill their objectives, thus reducing their QoL 1,4,12,14 .…”
