Structured PICO

Does the presence of comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disease) reduce health-related quality of life in adults with hypertension?

P
Population
5,736 adults from the general representative Korean population (Fourth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data)
I
Intervention
Presence of comorbid chronic diseases (diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disease) in patients with hypertension
C
Comparator
Hypertension alone
O
Outcome
Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measured by EuroQOL-5D (EQ-5D)patient reported

Comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disease, and diabetes significantly impair health-related quality of life in patients with hypertension.
