ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The aim of our study was to assess quality of life and satisfaction of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis depending on the duration of the disease.
Material and methods:
The study was conducted among 198 women aged over 50 years with postmenopausal osteoporosis. For this purpose, the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), QUALEFFO-41 and a self-authored questionnaire were used.
Results:
The surveyed women assessed their quality of life as moderate and obtained, according to the QUALEFFO-41 scale, an average score of 40.26 ±16.92 points. The mean result of the level of satisfaction with life, assessed on the SWLS scale, was 19.37 ±7.31 points, which proves moderate satisfaction with life.
Conclusions:
The quality of life significantly worsens with the duration of osteoporosis in the respondents.
