Hipotiroidi Tanısı Almış Kadınların Yaşam Kalitesi İle Besin Tüketim Alışkanlıkları Ve Bazı Antropometrik Parametreler Arasındaki İlişkinin Saptanması

Amaç: Bu çalışma, hipotiroidi tanısı almış kadınların yaşam kalitesi ile besin tüketim alışkanlıkları ve bazı antropometrik parametreler arasındaki ilişkiyi saptamak amacıyla planlanmıştır. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Araştırma, Avicenna Umut Hastanesi Endokrinoloji Bölümü’ne başvuran 18-65 yaş aralığındaki 136 hipotiroidi tanısı konmuş kadın ile Ekim 2018- Ocak 2019 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan bireylere yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile anket uygulanmış, besin tüketim kayıtları ve antropometrik ölçümleri alınmıştır. Bireylere Short Form-36 (SF-36) yaşam kalitesi ölçeği, Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ) ve Algılanan Stres Ölçeği (ASÖ) uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmadaki kadınların yaş ortalaması 44.35 ± 13.37 yıldır. Bireylerin yaşam kalitesi alt ölçeklerden aldıkları en düşük ortalamanın 38.52 ile genel sağlık algısında, en yüksek ortalamanın 74.19 ile fiziksel fonksiyon alt ölçeğinde olduğu saptanmıştır. Vücut ağırlığı, beden kütle indeksi (BKİ), bel çevresi, vücut yağ yüzdesi ve vücut yağ kütlesi değişkenlerinin; yaşam kalitesi alt ölçeklerinden emosyonel rol fonksiyon hariç tüm alt ölçek puanları ile arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı negatif ilişki görülürken; BDÖ ve ASÖ puanları ile arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.01). Bireylerin yaşam kalitesi alt ölçekleri puanları ile BDÖ ve ASÖ puanları arasında anlamlı negatif ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.01). Sonuç: Hipotiroidi tanısı almış kadınların çeşitli faktörlere bağlı olarak yaşam kalite düzeylerinin düşük olduğu saptanmış, bu bireylerde yaşam kalitesini arttırmak için fiziksel ve ruhsal sağlığı iyileştirici çalışmalar yapılması gerektiği belirlenmiştir.

The Relationship Between Quality of Life and Dietary Habits and Some Anthropometric Parameters of Women With Hypothyroid

Purpose:This study is planned to determine the relationship between quality of life, dietary habits and some anthropometric parameters in hypothyroid women. Patients and Methods:The study had been conducted between from October 2018 to January 2019 with 136 volunteer hypothyroid women, 18-65 age group, applied to Avicenna Umut Hospital Endocrinology Department. Questionnaires were applied to the individuals by face to face interview method, dietary records and anthropometric measurements were taken. Short Form-36 (SF-36) life quality scale, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were applied. Results:The mean age of women was 44.35±13.37 years. It was determined that the lowest average the individuals’ quality of life was 38.52 and the highest average was 74.19 with physical function subscale. Body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, body fat percentage and body fat mass variables were statistically significant negative correlations between all quality of life subscale scores except emotional role function. Those parameters were statistically significant positive correlations between BDI and PSS scores (p<0.01). Significant negative correlations were found between the scores of quality of life subscale scores and depression and stress scales (p<0.01). Conclusion:The hypothyroid womens’ life quality was low, due to various factors. It was determined that physical and mental health measures should be done to improve the quality of life in these individuals.
