dc.description.abstract | The co-existence of complications and diabetes mellitus is related to a worsening in quality
of life compared to not presenting comorbidities. This study aimed to investigate whether there is a
different impact on quality of life according to gender and to establish the physiological parameters
that these patients have in relation to diabetes-related complications. The sampling was continuous
non-probabilistic, involving legal age patients with diabetes mellitus. All of the participants were
administered the generic SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. The presence of peripheral artery
disease was considered from an ankle brachial index <0.9 and grade II to grade IV of the Leriche–
Fontaine classification. Nerve dysfunction was detected from a neurotensiometer test, and the
presence of diabetic foot was detected from a dermal examination and co-existence with arteriopathy
and/or neuropathy. Men presented significantly better quality of life values on the mental health,
emotional role and health transition scales. Despite this, in the presence of complications such as
vasculopathy, neuropathy or diabetic foot, the perception of well-being changes, showing that men
and women face the disease in different ways. Despite the fact that the physical parameters of
diabetic patients are similar according to the complications that they present, the adult women in our
environment have lower levels of quality of life than men in most cases. This may be related not only
to pathophysiological differences but also to sociocultural factors. | es |
