Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the selective destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas causing an absolute deficiency of insulin for life. This pathology carries associated risks so that it is essential to measure Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in this population. The aim was to analyse associations between the level of physical activity and HRQoL in people with T1D. The sample consisted of 172 participants with T1D diagnoses, between 18 and 49 years (31.29 ± 8.17). The participants answered different questionnaires related to physical activity (IPAQ) and HRQoL (EsDQOL, ViDa1, 15D, and EQ-5D-5L). The results showed significant correlations between the level of physical activity and HRQoL. Vigorous physical activity had an impact on the HRQoL questionnaires, such as the well-being dimension (rho = 0.349; p < 0.001) of the ViDa1 questionnaire. A significant correlation between total physical activity and levels of anxiety and depression was observed: anxiety (15D) (rho = 0.328; p < 0.001) and anxiety/depression (EQ-5D-5L) (rho = 0.324; p < 0.001). The present study showed associations between higher levels of physical activity and higher HRQoL parameters in the population with T1D, which can be erected as a reason for exercise prescription in these patients.

Introduction. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that affects all aspects of life of pediatric patients, especially the psychological aspect, and hence the health-related quality of life. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of sociodemographic and clinical factors of pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus on self-assessment of health-related quality of life. Material and Methods. The research was conducted as a cross-sectional study. The sample included 37 pediatric patients aged 8 to 18 years, who were diagnosed with the type 1 diabetes mellitus six months or longer before enrollment into the study. The research instruments used in the study were the Serbian version of child-friendly EuroQol-5D-Y youth questionnaire and medical history data (gender, age, time since diagnosis - in years, glycosylated hemoglobin values, type of insulin therapy). Results. The total score of general health on the visual analogue scale was 80.54 on average (standard deviation - 20.87). A negative correlation was found between the total score on the visual analogue scale and the duration of diabetes (? = -0.329, p < 0.05). The statistical significance of the difference in the distribution of respondents? responses in relation to the type of insulin therapy was confirmed in the domain ?Feeling of concern? (?2 (2) = 7.19, p < 0.05). Conclusion. The key determinants that influenced the self-assessment of the health-related quality of life in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus are duration of the disease and the use of insulin analogues.
