Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate factors influencing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among male patients with osteoporosis over 50 years of age.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with secondary data. The data of male patients with osteoporosis over 50 years of age (n=1,307) from the Community Health Survey (2016) were selected for analysis. Complex sampling design multiple regression analysis was conducted for influential factors on HRQoL, measured by the Euro Quality of Life-5D (EQ-5D).
Results: The mean HRQoL score of male patients with osteoporosis over 50 years of age was 0.74. Factors that influenced HRQoL included age, spouse, job, household income, body mass index, stress, depression, self-reported health status, hours of sleep per day, health examination experience, comorbidity (stroke, osteoarthritis), and osteoporosis fracture (hip bone, spine), which together explained 42% of the HRQoL.
Conclusion: To improve the HRQoL among male patients with osteoporosis over 50 years of age, comprehensive management is required from the stage of diagnosis. Developing and applying long-term programs including multidimensional approaches and early screenings of osteoporosis and prevention education for men are also needed.
