Objective: Several previous studies have evaluated associations between body mass index (BMI) and self-rated health (SRH); however, the results were inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the association between BMI and SRH in Korean adults. Methods:The study was conducted in 214,997 adults who participated in the 2016 Korean Community Health Survey. Participants were categorized into four groups based on BMI: underweight (<18.5 kg/m 2 ), normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m 2 ), overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m 2 ), or obese (≥30.0 kg/m 2 ). Multivariate Poisson regression analysis with sampling weights and robust variance estimators was performed to evaluate the relationship between BMI categories and poor SRH. Results:There was a J-shaped association between BMI and poor SRH in both sexes, with the lowest risk observed in the normal weight group in both sexes. Compared with normal weight subjects, the age and lifestyle adjusted prevalence rate ratios for poor SRH were 1.61 (95% CI, 1.50-1.74) for underweight, 1.16 (95% CI, 1.11-1.21) for overweight, and 2.35 (95% CI, 2.13-2.58) for obese men; and 1.24 (95% CI, 1.17-1.32) for underweight, 1.26 (95% CI, 1.22-1.31) for overweight, and 1.77 (95% CI, 1.64-1.91) for obese women. Conclusions:In a cross-sectional study using a nationally representative survey, there was a nonlinear relationship between BMI and poor SRH. This relationship was more prominent in men than in women. Prospective studies are needed to further clarify the relationship between BMI and SRH.

Results: Cardio-cerebrovascular disease among middle-aged women was associated with quality of life, menopause, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, and family history of hypertension. The incidence of cardio-cerebrovascular disease in middle-aged women was found to be the most prevalent in women who have entered menopause, have a family history of hypertension, and have a body mass index greater than 30.0 kg/m 2 . Conclusion: This study classifies the subjects according to the risk level of each disadvantaged group for cardio-cerebrovascular disease prevention and management in middle-aged women. The results provide evidence to support a tailored cardio-cerebrovascular disease prevention and management program based on the related factors of disadvantaged groups and to establish strategies in educational and practical aspects.

“…In public health, the term "Health-related Quality of life" is more common. When estimating it, both patient's complaints caused by the disease and concomitant complaints are taken into consideration which allows establishing the effect of a disease on the psychological and emotional states of a patient and their social status [2,9,19].…”

The existing methods of evaluation of the state of a patient do not account for all variables in their life. This creates a need to establish a complex approach in assessing a patient’s condition, including the integral criterion of their subjective state, the quality of life (QL): physical, social and societal well-being. The evaluation is done using certain surveys. Despite a significant amount of research on the quality of life of patients with cardiovascular disease, the understanding of the link between the illness and factors such as age, sex, diagnosis, and its distinctive features remains vague. The objective of the study is to assess the quality of life of hospitalized patients with cardiovascular disease, depending on their age, sex and diagnosis. 115 hospitalized cardiology patients (59 men and 56 women) were surveyed in the cardiology department of Vinnytsia Regional Clinical Hospital named after Pirogov. The mean age of the surveyed amounted to 57.71±1.32 years. 78 patients were diagnosed with different forms of coronary heart disease (II, III, IV classes of angina, atherosclerotic and postinfarction cardiosclerosis, cardiac arrhythmia and disturbances of impulse conduction), mostly in combination with stage II-III of essential hypertension (EH). Stage II EH without CHD was observed in 17 patients, while 20 patients suffered from different cardiovascular illnesses (myocarditis, pericarditis, cardiomyopathies, heart defects). The control group comprised of 30 healthy individuals with no evident cardiac pathology (17 men and 13 women), the mean age of whom amounted to 43.26±15.01 years. To evaluate the quality of life, the MOS-SF-36 guestionnaire has been used, which consists of eight sections, each scaled on 0-100. The higher the score was, the better the state of health was. The validity of the results was determined by employing analysis of variance, namely Student’s T-Test. A reliable decrease in the quality of life in all sections of the SF-36 Survey has been found as well as the difference in gender, age, diagnosis, and its distinctive features. The figures of the quality of life during a cardiac disease could be additional informative characteristics that should be used for a better assessment of the health state of the patients and solutions for the efficacy of their treatment.
