We analysed relationship between KOQOL and BMI, blood parameters, life pattern using SPSS version 21.0.
Results : 1. There were significant differences in KOQOL according to BMI, gender, creatinine. 2. Female showed higher KOQOL than male. 3. Normal weight group showed lowest KOQOL in male, but underweight group showed lowest KOQOL in female. 4.
