Key result
Lifestyle modification, specifically the drinking score, accounted for approximately 47.8% of the SF-36 quality of life score in patients with coronary artery disease.
Why the study?
Improving quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease is an important outcome measure, motivating investigation into the impact of lifestyle modification.

What is the relationship between lifestyle modification and quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease?
Lifestyle factors, particularly drinking, and demographic characteristics significantly correlate with quality of life in Vietnamese patients with coronary artery disease.
May link lifestyle modification to QoL in CAD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before informing practice.
Improving the quality of life (QoL) of patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a very important tool for evaluating outcomes. Therefore, we investigated Exploring the Impact of Lifestyle Modification on Quality of Life of Patients with Coronary Artery Disease. A cross-sectional design involving patients with having Coronary Artery Disease treated in the hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. The patients (N =180) who came to Tam Duc Hospital for pre-examination during CAD treatment were asked to answer questionnaires which included SF-36 and lifestyle. The Pearson correlation was applied to identify the relationship between the lifestyle and quality of life in this study. And Chi-square test, T test, and one-way ANOVA test was also used. The QoL of the male subjects with Coronary Artery Disease were higher than female (60.45 ± 12.71 vs. 34.88 ± 0.00, p < 0.01); living in urban was higher than living in rural (61.42 ± 15.37 vs. 53.59 ± 9.7, p < 0.01); and in working patients was higher than unemployment (62.45 ± 12.68 vs. 55.98 ± 14.27, p < 0.01). And the results showed that approximately 47.8% of the Score of SF-36 could be accounted by the Drinking Score – one of the Lifestyle modification in the CAD patients. The quality of life of male patients were higher than that of women. The QoL of urban residents were higher than that of rural people, and working people were higher than that of retirees.

Hsiao et al. (2024) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary Artery Disease (n=180). Lifestyle modification (Drinking Score) was evaluated on Quality of life (SF-36 score). Lifestyle modification, specifically the drinking score, accounted for approximately 47.8% of the SF-36 quality of life score in patients with coronary artery disease.
