背景：肥胖是一个主要的公共卫生问题，与大量的发病率和死亡率。目的：作者调查了健康相关生活质量（HRQL）与体重指数（BMI）、性别、年龄、精神和躯体疾病以及寻求治疗状态之间的关系。方法：一项横断面对照研究评估了640名男性和女性个体，分为四个体重类别。结果如下：线性回归分析显示，较高的BMI，较高的年龄，以及目前的躯体和精神疾病的人数较多的负面预测HRQL的身体尺寸。较高数量的精神和躯体疾病，以及女性和年轻的年龄似乎是独立的精神HRQL的负面预测因子，而BMI与精神HRQL无关。治疗状态与精神或身体HRQL无关。结论：身心障碍是影响HRQL的重要因素。（Psychosomatics 2009; 50：474-482）
Background: Obesity is a major public health problem that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Objective: The authors investigated the associations between health-related quality of life (HRQL) and Body Mass Index (BMI), gender, age, mental and somatic disorders, as well as therapy-seeking status. Method: A cross-sectional controlled study assessed 640 male and female individuals, clustered into four weight categories. Results: Linear-regression analyses revealed that higher BMI, higher age, and higher numbers of current somatic and mental disorders negatively predicted the physical dimension of HRQL. Higher numbers of both mental and somatic disorders as well as female gender and younger age seemed to be independent negative predictors of mental HRQL, whereas BMI was not associated with mental HRQL. Therapy status was not related to mental or physical HRQL. Conclusion: Physical and mental disorders are important detrimental factors for both physical and mental dimensions of HRQL.
