Objectives: This study aimed to identify the predictors of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Korean adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a stratified multistage probability sampling design. Data from the 2016 to 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (n=32,379) were used. Among the participants aged 19 years or older (n=25,995), 1,081 patients with CVD were extracted after excluding those with missing data and those who had cancer. The participants¡¯ HRQoL was measured using the three-level EuroQoL Group¡¯s five-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D) scale. Data were analyzed using the t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and general linear regression for complex samples.
Results: The most potent predictors of HRQoL in Korean adults with CVD were limited activity (¥â=?0.103, p<0.001), poor perceived health (¥â=?0.089, p<0.001), depression (¥â=?0.065, p<0.01), low household income (¥â=?0.033, p<0.05), unemployment (¥â=?0.023, p<0.05), and older age (¥â=?0.002, p<0.01), which explained 37.2% of the variance.
Conclusion: Comprehensive interventions that address both physical and mental factors and social systems that provide financial help need to be implemented to improve the HRQoL of Korean adults with CVD.
