INTRODUCTION: One in three Singaporeans is at risk of developing DM (DM) in their lifetime. The majority of those with DM experience other comorbidities that often affect the course of their DM. This study explored: (a) the prevalence of DM-related complications, (b) their sociodemographic correlates, and (c) their association with health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
METHODS: Participants with DM (n = 387) were recruited from a population-based survey. Type 2 DM was self-reported as diagnosed by a doctor. The DM-related complications and comorbidities were assessed using the DM knowledge questionnaire and chronic conditions checklist. Short-Form health survey was used to examined HRQOL. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to examine the association between DM-related complications and sociodemographic factors and body mass index. Multiple linear regressions examined the association of complications with HRQOL.
RESULTS: Approximately 31.6% of the participants had DM-related complications. The top three complications were nephropathy (54.4%), neuropathy (42.2%) and retinopathy (40.8%). Younger participants (aged 18-49 years) and those with higher education were less likely to develop DM-related complications. Physical HRQOL was adversely affected in participants with any chronic condition, DM for 4-9 years, DM-related neuropathy, lower leg/foot ulcers and gangrene. Mental HRQOL was adversely affected by gangrene. Younger participants had better physical HRQOL.
CONCLUSION: Physical HRQOL is adversely affected when individuals develop DM-related complications. Understanding the sociodemographic corelates of DM-related complications could aid clinicians in identifying and assisting at-risk populations to prevent adverse outcomes. Educating individuals on the risk of developing DM-related complications could encourage better DM management.
