Article Synopsis
- Obesity is linked to serious health issues and the study examines factors affecting health-related quality of life (HRQL) related to BMI, gender, age, and mental/physical health.
- Linear regression analysis showed that higher BMI, age, and current health disorders negatively impact physical HRQL, while mental HRQL is mainly influenced by mental disorders, gender, and age.
- The findings confirm that both physical and mental health issues significantly lower HRQL, regardless of BMI or therapy-seeking behavior.
