摘要: Aim: To compare health related quality of life (HRQoL) obese adolescents with normal weight controls and to explore the relation between Body Mass Index (BMI) HRQoL. Methods: Cross-sectional study in 31 (12–18 years), referred for obesity, comparison 62 age sex matched controls. HRQoL was assessed using PedsQL 4.0 Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ). The main outcome measure difference control subjects. Results: Mean BMI (SD) patients versus 34.9 (8.8) 19.5 (2.2) kg/m2. In adolescents, lower three seven CHQ scales found (p < 0.05). Variance explained by obesity ranged from 8% (CHQ Physical Functioning) 28% Global Health). z-score inversely correlated five 10 while percentage scale variance 7% summary scale) 33% Health). Conclusion: is less than controls, partially obesity-related comorbidity. Overall associated BMI. Hence, an important indicator impact effect interventions, complementary clinical variables.
