Abstract

Chronic diseases affect the quality of life and all components of the health, and they decrease physical activity. The aim of the research was to assess how diabetes mellitus affects the physical health component in relation to sex, age and level of education. For survey research at the Clinical Center of Banja Luka in the period from October 2011 to June 2012, which included 150 patients with diabetes mellitus, we used a questionnaire of the World Health Organization (WHOQOL-BREF). The mean score for physical domain of health were slightly higher in male patients (57.92), but without statistically significant difference (t = 1.256; p >0.05) compared to female respondents. With a statistically significant difference (p <0.01) the mean scores for the physical domain of health were higher among younger respondents and those with higher education and those mean scores declines with age and with lower levels of education. Mean score were highest in unmarried people, followed by married but without statistically significant difference (p>0.05) compared to divorced and widower. In our patients, diabetes mellitus has an impact on the physical health component and restrict certain physical activities, especially in patients who are older and with lower education.
