About this study

Official title: Health-related Quality of Life in a Cohort of Spanish Schoolchildren and Its Association With the Physical State and Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet.

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.

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).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 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.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Eating habits

    the total index ranges from 0 to 12, and the final score is classified into three levels:

    >8, ideal Mediterranean diet.

    4-7, improvements needed to adjust the intake to the patterns of the Mediterranean diet.

    ≤3, very poor dietary quality. and adolescence on which the KIDMED index.

    Measured: 3 months
