Dynamics of the quality of life indicators in patients with the metabolically healthy obesity after weight
loss

Background and Aims:
Obesity is associated with high cardio metabolic risk and decreased quality of life (QoL).
The quality of life in metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) is studied insufficiently. Our goal was to analyze indicators
of QoL in patients with metabolically healthy obesity initially and in 6 months after weight loss by ≥5%.
Materials and methods:
The study included 44 females with MHO (according to the IDF criteria of the metabolic
syndrome, 2005: obese patients with no more than one additional cardio metabolic risk factor) and 33 females with
metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUHO) aged 19 - 59 years. To assess the QoL, the questionnaire SF-36 (Medical
Outcomes Study - Short Form 36) was used.
Results:
Initially, QoL indicators in the MHO group did not have statistically significant differences from those in
the MUHO group. Those patients in MHO group who reduced body weight for 6 months by 5% or more, increased
the following indicators of quality of life: physical functioning by 7,5%, role physical by 11,6%, vitality - by 12,8%,
social functioning - by 11,2%, role emotional by 11,9%, mental health by 8,8% (р < 0,05). In the MUHO group,
the parameters of role physical (by 24,6%), role emotional (by 39,5%), mental health (by 9,2%) were statistically
significantly increased (p < 0,05) on the background of clinically significant weight loss (≥5%).
Conclusions:
The more favorable metabolic status of patients in the MHO group does not affect the quality of life
indicators. The decrease in body weight by 5% or more in both patients with MHO and in patients with MUHO is
accompanied by an increase in QoL. It predetermines the need to reduce body weight, regardless of the phenotype
of obesity.
