Abstract

To evaluate the self-reported quality of life in individuals with diabetes of long duration. An interview was administered 14 years after baseline to two cohorts of individuals with diabetes who have been followed in an epidemiological study periodically since 1980. Responses to the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 as related to complications of diabetes, age, glycosylated hemoglobin level, and other characteristics were assessed. Physical function, physical role, general health scales, and a general question about health were related to diabetes characteristics in older- and younger-onset individuals. Symptoms of sensory neuropathy were associated with the four measures in both younger- (n = 645) and older-onset (n = 292) individuals. Other descriptive variables in the younger-onset group were the presence of nephropathy, cardiovascular disease, smoking, peak expiratory flow, physical activity, and glycosylated hemoglobin. Hypoglycemic reactions were of only borderline significance and that for only one scale (physical role). In older-onset individuals, cardiovascular disease, physical activity, and sex were descriptive of responses to the quality-of-life questions. Factors related to diabetes contribute to self-assessed h...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
