Abstract: Objective To analyze the health-related quality of life and its influencing factors of diabetic population in Shenzhen City. Methods A survey was conducted on major hospitals and community health centers in Luohu District of Shenzhen City from September to December 2021,and 634 type 2 diabetes patients aged 18-92 years old were finally selected as the search objects.The European quality-5 dimension-5 levels questionnaire(EQ-5D-5L) scale,and visual analogue score(VAS) were used to measure the patient's health utility.The univariate tests were performed using t-test and analysis of variance,and Tobit regression was used to explore influencing factors. Results The mean EQ-5D-5L utility of the study population was 0.888±0.205,and the VAS score was 76.471±17.682 points.In addition,the study calculated the utility of patients with diabetes and other diseases,specifically:hypertension was 0.873±0.014,hyperlipidemia was 0.886±0.012,heart failure was 0.792±0.083,myocardial infarction was 0.887±0.083,stroke was 0.569±0.070,coronary heart disease angina was 0.765±0.067,chronic gastrointestinal disease was 0.840±0.036,genital disease was 0.847±0.043,retinopathy was 0.809±0.041,renal failure was 0.699±0.110,peripheral vascular disease was 0.821±0.055,skin ulcers was 0.771±0.064,cancer was 0.538±0.139.The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in health utility among different groups in age,whether hospitalization,fasting blood glucose,education,drinking,smoking,exercise,comorbidities,stroke,coronary heart disease angina,renal failure,skin ulcer and cancer(all P<0.05). The regression model results showed that older age,lower education,less exercise,hospitalization,comorbidities,stroke,and cancer were the influencing factors of low health utility in diabetic patients(all P<0.05). Conclusion The health-related quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes in Shenzhen City is lower than that of the normal population,and the comorbid diseaseshave a great impact on the quality of life of patients with diabetes,so it is necessary to pay attention to improving patients' self-management and disease prevention awareness.
