RESUMO
The aim of the research - to assess physical and psychological state of health of patients with metabolic syndrome. The total number of participants in the study was 300 people. All respondents were divided into three groups. The first group included 100 people practically healthy, the second group 100 people without MS and the third group 100 people with a reliable diagnosis of the metabolic syndrome. To assess the physical and psychological components of the QOL, the «SF-36 Health Status Survery¼ questionnaire was used. The results of the study showed that the indices of the physical and psychological components of QOL in patients with metabolic syndrome were reduced by 3 (p<0.05) compared to the control group, which indicated the effect of the metabolic syndrome on QL. In patients with MS compared with the control group (1 group), the psychological component as a vital activity was reduced by 45%, role functioning due to emotional state by 55%, mental health by 33%, social functioning by 50%. The results of the questionnaire on the Special Questionnaire of the Hospital Scale of Anxiety and Depression (HADS) for the purpose of a detailed analysis of anxiety and depression showed that the level of anxiety and depression on the HADS scale depended on the duration and components of the MS. Indices of the physical and psychological component of QL in patients with MS significantly lower (p <0.05) comparing with the control group (practical healthy) and with the group without MS. The decrease in the physical (66.5%) and psychological (74%) state of QL health depends on the duration of the disease and on the components of the metabolic syndrome.
