Abstract

Purpose

The study aim was to evaluate HRQOL and to explore the variables associated with poor HRQOL among patients with dyslipidemia in Jordan.

Methods

The present study utilized the EQ-5D questionnaire which evaluates HRQOL in terms of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Responses to the five dimensions were presented using the value set, which ranges from 1 for full health to − 0.594 for severe problems in all five dimensions. Multiple linear regression analysis was implemented to identify the variables that best predicted the total EQ-5D score and hence HRQOL in the study population.

Results

The mean age of the 228 participants was 60.23 (SD = 10.64). The mean of the total EQ-5D score was 0.675 (SD = 0.14). Regression analysis identified necessity for dyslipidemia medication (B = 0.18, P < 0.01) and patients with controlled lipid profile (B = 0.28, P < 0.01) were positively associated with HRQOL, while having concerns about dyslipidemia medications (B = − 0.16, P < 0.01), number of medication (B = − 0.13, P = 0.02), duration of dyslipidemia (B = − 0.22, P < 0.01), receiving high-intensity statin (B = − 0.18, P < 0.01) or statin in combination with fibrate (B = − 0.15, P < 0.01) were associated with lower HRQOL.

Conclusion

HRQOL has considerable scope for improvement in patients with dyslipidemia in Jordan. Improving dyslipidemia medications’ beliefs and simplifying medication regimen by prescribing less medications, particularly for patients with longer disease duration and those on statin therapy, should be considered in future management programs aim at improving HRQOL in patients with dyslipidemia.
