Brief Summary

Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) allows knowing the subject\'s feelings in terms of distress and well-being, as well as her perception of her current and future health. Objective: Evaluate the associations between health-related quality of life, physical state, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet in a cohort of Spanish children and adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a cohort of 305 (47.2% women) children and adolescents aged between 8 and 16 years, in the Primary and Secondary Schools of the province of Ávila (Spain). For the analysis of the different variables, the subjects were classified according to their quality of life in three groups from highest to lowest (Group 1 \> Group 2 \> Group 3).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Health-related quality of life

  The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, mild problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate their health status by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results in a 1-digit number expressing the level selected for that dimension. The digits of the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number describing the patient's health status.
