Obesity and health-related quality of life: a cross-sectional analysis of the US population
Abstract
Objective To examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and health-related quality-of-life (HRQL), in the presence of dietary controls and/or exercise in a national sample in the United States.Methods BMI and its association with HRQL domains (physical, mental and activity limitations) were examined using the Centers' for Disease Control and Prevention's 2000 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillence System (BRFSS) data, after adjusting for various sociodemographic factors, self-reported health-status, and diet/exercise behavior.Results Based on World Health Organization's (WHO) classification of obesity, the study sample (N=182 372) included approximately 43.7% nonoverweight, 36% overweight, 14% obese, and 7% severely obese respondents. Exercise and dietary modifications were used by 17.5% of overweight, 15.2% of obese, and 12.5% of severely obese individuals. Logistic regression results using nonoverweight BMI as the reference category showed that severely obese (OR=1.87, 95% CI 1.64-2.12) and obese (OR=1.21, 95% CI 1.09-1.33) were more likely to experience greater than 14 unhealthy days affecting the physical health domain. Severely obese (OR=1.41, 95% CI 1.26-1.59) and obese (OR=1.17, 95% CI 1.07-1.28) were also more likely to experience greater than 14 unhealthy days affecting the mental health domain. Similarly, severely obese (OR=1.73, 95% CI 1.50-1.99) and obese (OR=1.22, 95% CI 1.08-1.37) were more likely to experience greater than 14 days with activity limitations. Exercise and dietary controls were associated with better HRQL across all three domains.Conclusion The study highlights the relationship between BMI and HRQL in the United States. The study also underlines the positive correlation of exercise and dietary modifications with HRQL.

“Furthermore, it is not surprising that decreased QoL in adults with asthma is associated with depression or high BMI, both of which have been consistently associated with activity limitation (e.g. refs 70,71).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
