Abstract
CABRERA-PIVARAL, Carlos E. et al. Self-perception of health status in people retired due to diabetes mellitus complications from Guadalajara, Mexico. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.1, pp.89-93. Epub Oct 20, 2020. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v21n1.66454.
Objective
To evaluate self-perception of health status (APES by its Spanish acronym) of people retired due to complications of diabetes mellitus, and what socio-demographic, family, work and clinical characteristics are associated to these variables.
Materials and Methods
Analytical, cross-sectional study in a universe of 240 pensioners who agreed to participate. The APES was evaluated with the EuroQol-5D questionnaire in Spanish, and socio-demographic, family, work and clinical variables were included.
Results
240 pensioners with a mean age of 53.43 ± 8.16 years (94.29% male and 5.71% female) were studied. It was found that 53.4% reported regular, poor or very poor APES. A significant association between poor APES and work life ≤30 years (OR=6.00; 95%CI: 1.27, 28.26) and chronic renal failure (OR=7.00; 95%CI: 1.39, 35.35) was found. No explanatory models were found through logistic regression. No explanatory models were found by logistic regression.
Conclusion
The frequency of poor APES was high in the sample of patients with diabetes. Studies with larger samples are required for better conclusions.
