Key result
Healthy cardiometabolic status is linked to ~3.5-point higher physical quality of life scores.
Why the study?
Precision public health supported by online tools is emerging for disease prevention, prompting an assessment of how sociodemographic, anthropometric, dietary, and lifestyle factors relate to HRQoL, cardiometabolic health, and ethnicity.
Cross-Sectional (n=17,333)
Absolute Event Rate: 54.5% vs 51%
p-value: p=<0.05
A healthy cardiometabolic status and healthy lifestyle habits such as physical activity and Mediterranean diet adherence are positively associated with better health-related quality of life.
Healthy cardiometabolic status was associated with higher physical QoL; cross-sectional data leave causality and intervention effects open.
Precision public health supported on online tools is increasingly emerging as a potential strategy to achieve health promotion and disease prevention. Our aim was to assess the relationships of sociodemographic variables, anthropometric data, dietary habits and lifestyle factors with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), cardiometabolic health status and ethnicity in an online recruited adult population (NutrIMDEA Study). NutrIMDEA Study is a web-based cross-sectional survey that included 17,333 adults. Self-reported sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric data, clinical and family history of cardiometabolic illnesses, dietary habits, lifestyle factors and HRQoL features were collected. Diseased individuals showed significative poorer MedDiet and worse HRQoL than those in the healthy cardiometabolic status group (p < 0.05). In comparison, European/Caucasian individuals reported a significantly better HRQoL, higher MedDiet and HRQoL values compared with those of other ethnicities (p < 0.05). We obtained a total of 16.8% who reported poor/fair, 56.5% good and 26.6% very good/excellent HRQoL. Respondents with very good/excellent HRQoL showed lower BMI, greater adherence to a Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and higher physical activity. The results suggest the presence of interactions between the mental and physical components of HRQoL with obesity, sedentarism and dietary intake, which were dependent on disease status and ethnicity. Online HRQoL assessment could contribute to wider implementation of precision public health strategies to promote health targeted interventions with policy implications to community health promotion.

Ribot-Rodríguez et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiometabolic health status (n=17,333). Healthy cardiometabolic status vs. Diseased cardiometabolic status (obesity, diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia) was evaluated on Physical component score of SF12 (PCS12) (p=<0.05). Participants with a healthy cardiometabolic status reported a significantly higher physical component quality of life score than those with cardiometabolic diseases (54.5 vs 51.0 points, p<0.05).
