Objective: Estimate associations between the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and adiposity in a low-income population.

Methods: In a cluster random sample of 3796 Filipinos aged 40-70 years in Nueva Ecija province, we measured body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and six dimensions of HRQoL using the 20-item Short Form Health Survey. We stratified by sex and used nonparametric regression to graph mean HRQoL in each dimension by BMI, WC, and WHR.
