Abstract: Quality of life in patients with borderline personality disorder: The mediating role of life satisfaction. Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental illness characterized by a pattern of instability in relationships, moods and behavior. Using two groups of women (clinical or diagnosed with BPD, N = 138; and control, with no physical or mental illness, N = 124) this study analyzed the differences between pathological personality traits, measured by the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 and different domains of quality of life (SF-36 and the WHODAS 2.0) as well as the mediating role of life satisfaction in personality traits and quality of life. Differences were found between the groups in pathological personality and quality of life. Moreover, many SF-36 dimensions were partially mediated by life satisfaction in both groups. Therefore, new treatments for BPD may include developing life satisfaction, palliating the effects of this disorder on quality of life, reducing its impact on day-to-day tasks.Resumen: El trastorno de personalidad límite (TPL) se caracteriza por inestabilidad en las relaciones, el humor y la conducta. Se analizaron en dos grupos de mujeres (clínico o con TPL, N = 138; y control, sin enfermedad física o mental, N = 124) las diferencias en rasgos patológicos de personalidad (evaluados con el Personality Inventory for DSM-5) y diferentes dominios de calidad de vida (SF-36 y WHODAS 2.0), así como el papel mediador de la satisfacción vital en las relaciones entre personalidad y calidad de vida. Se encontraron diferencias entre los grupos en personalidad patológica y calidad de vida. Además, varias dimensiones de calidad de vida del SF-36 estaban mediadas parcialmente por la satisfacción vital en ambos grupos. Por tanto, los tratamientos del TPL podrían incluir el desarrollo de satisfacción vital para paliar sus efectos en la calidad de vida de los que lo padecen, reduciendo su impacto en las tareas del día a día.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo aprofundar o debate acerca da emergência do tema da qualidade de vida vinculado ao meio urbano e de suas possibilidades para o planejamento urbano. De caráter exploratório, através de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, o artigo procura delimitar marcos conceituais sobre a qualidade de vida e sua relação com um novo modelo de planejamento urbano a partir do paradigma do desenvolvimento social e de diretrizes do Estatuto da Cidade (2001), além de discutir formas de operacionalização desse conceito tendo como base algumas experiências de construção de sistemas de indicadores de qualidade de vida urbana no Brasil. Como resultados, evidencia-se que a preocupação com a qualidade de vida tem sido expressão recorrente nos debates sobre o presente e futuro das cidades, ganhando espaço e legitimidade a partir de um esforço de delimitação conceitual e de instrumentos para sua mensuração, destacando a contribuição de indicadores georreferenciados para melhor compreensão de desigualdades intraurbanas em diversas áreas. Acredita-se que a incorporação dessa discussão ao planejamento urbano pode contribuir de maneira significativa para pensar e operacionalizar instrumentos que auxiliem no direcionamento de ações e efetivação de políticas públicas para melhoria das condições de vida da população. Palavras-chave: Planejamento Urbano; Indicadores; Qualidade de vida.   GEOREFERENCED INDICATORS OF URBAN QUALITY OF LIFE: possibilities for urban planning  Abstract  This article aims to deepen the debate on the growth of the quality of life theme linked to the urban environment and its possibilities for the urban planning. With exploratory character, through bibliographical and documentary research, the article seeks to define conceptual frameworks on the quality of life and its relationship with a new urban planning model from the social development paradigm and the “City Statute” guidelines (2001), besides discussing ways of operationalizing this concept, basing on experiences of previously existing systems of urban quality of life indicators in Brazil. As a result, it is clear that the concern for quality of life has been a recurring point in discussions regarding the present and future of cities, gaining ground and legitimacy from efforts of conceptual delimitation and tools for its measurement, highlighting the contribution of georeferenced indicators for a better understanding of intra-urban inequalities in many areas. It is believed that the incorporation of this discussion into urban planning can contribute significantly to think and operationalize instruments that can help to direct actions and execution of public policies to improve the living conditions of the population. Keywords: Urban Planning; Indicators; Quality of life.   INDICADORES GEOREFERENCIADOS DE CALIDAD DE VIDA URBANA: posibilidades de planificación urbana Resumen En este artículo se pretende profundizar el debate sobre el surgimiento del tema de la calidad de vida relacionado con el ambiente urbano y sus posibilidades para la planificación urbana.

Background: Hypothyroidism is a syndrome which results from decreased production of thyroid hormones from thyroid gland and hence it can also be termed as underactive thyroid disease. Objectives: To assess the quality of life in patients with denovo hypothyroidism. To assess risk factors, complications in patients with hypothyroidism. Materials and methods: There was a total (N=100) number of participants enrolled in the study and are evaluated for risk factors and complications and among 100, 40 patients are Denovo hypothyroid who are assessed for quality of life. This is a prospective observational study in which the risk factors, complications and quality of life of patients is evaluated for those patients who are willing to give informed consent and meet the inclusion criteria. Results and Discussion: Referring to the ndings, the patients with high BMI, females and age around 20-30 are more prevalent. Patients who do not adhere to medications develop complications such as goiter and cvs problems but mostly obesity is seen and QOL of patients was studied using SF-36 and HADS scales. The initial mean was found to be less compared to the nal mean in SF-36 whereas in HADS the initial mean is high compared to the nal mean. The Patient's BMI was high initially and then reduced to normal.This implies that after educating the patient about the disease and need of medication the nal result shows there is improvement in the patient's QOL. P values of SF 36 and HADS are 0.0001 and 0.0314 respectively, which by conventional criteria was found to be statistically signicant. Conclusion: This study simply showed that the females, patients with high BMI and age around 20-30 are the major risk factors. Proper patient education, care and medication adherence are the cornerstones to help avoid complications and improve patients quality of life.

Abstract Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is determined by multiple factors that include components such as spirituality and religiousness (S/R). Even though various systematic reviews have investigated the association between S/R and improved health outcomes in the most different groups, healthy young individuals are seldom addressed. The aim this study was to evalue the association between S/R and HRQoL among young, healthy individuals.Methods: Systematic review of papers published in the last ten years and indexed in four academic research databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus) and two gray literature databases. Inclusion criteria were studies assessing S/R and HRQoL using validated instruments and assessing healthy adults (i.e., non-clinical patients, not belonging to any specific group of chronic diseases), aged between 18 and 64 years old. Results: Ten out of 1,952 studies met the inclusion criteria: nine cross-sectional and one longitudinal cohort study, in which 89% of the participants were college students. Nine studies report a positive association between S/R and HRQoL, while one study did not report any significant association. The main HRQoL domains associated with S/R were the psychological, social relationships, and environment domains, while the S/R most influent facets/components were optimism, inner strength, peace, high control, hope, and happiness. Conclusions: Higher S/R levels among healthy adult individuals were associated with higher HRQoL levels, suggesting the S/R can be an important strategy to deal with adverse environmental situations even among those without chronic diseases, enhancing the wellbeing of individuals.

Objective.Systemic sclerosis (SSc) affects multiple physical, psychological, and social domains and is associated with impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL).We compared the HRQOL of SSc patients with individuals in the general population and patients with other common chronic diseases.Methods.HRQOL of SSc patients in the Canadian Scleroderma Research Group registry was measured using version 2 of the Medical Outcomes Trust Short Form-36 (SF-36). Results were compared to US general population norms and scores reported for patients with other common chronic diseases, namely heart disease, lung disease, hypertension, diabetes, and depression.Results.SF-36 scores were available for 504 SSc patients (86% women, mean age 56 yrs, mean disease duration since onset of first non-Raynaud’s manifestation of SSc 11 yrs). The greatest impairment in SF-36 subscale scores appeared to be in the physical functioning, general health, and role physical domains. SF-36 subscale and summary scores in SSc were significantly worse compared to US general population norms for women of similar ages, except for mental health and mental component summary score, which were not significantly different, and were generally comparable to or worse than the scores of patients with other common chronic conditions.Conclusion.HRQOL of patients with SSc is significantly impaired compared to that of the general population and is comparable to or worse than that of patients with other common chronic conditions.

Las desiguales condiciones de vida en que se desenvuelve un conjunto poblacional urbano potencia problemas sociales y según sea la dinámica demográfica, requiere diferentes demandas y desafíos a las administraciones gubernamentales fundamentalmente de orden local a fin de reducir desigualdades. El Aglomerado Gran Santa Fe (AGSF) se caracteriza por desbalances en términos de calidad de vida y al mismo tiempo si bien presenta un crecimiento general bajo, éste no es homogéneo en toda la extensión del aglomerado. El presente artículo describe las etapas de elaboración de un índice de calidad de vida del AGSF mediante el cruce de datos aportados por variables socioeconómicas y ambientales que emanan de diversas fuentes de información y que fueron agrupadas en dimensiones ‘publicas’ y ‘privadas’ de los hogares, a fin de evaluar la incidencia específica de estos dos aspectos en la determinación de la calidad de vida. Otra cuestión destacada del trabajo radica en el análisis del vínculo entre crecimiento demográfico y calidad de vida, sin ánimo de establecer una relación directa causa-efecto, a fin de cotejar tendencias generales de expansión o retracción de los grupos poblacionales con diferente calidad de vida, y su correspondiente implantación espacial. Los resultados demuestran aspectos positivos de la propuesta metodológica seguida, pudiendo ser de utilidad la estrategia de tratar por separado las ‘dimensiones’ de la calidad de vida para el estudio de ámbitos urbanos. Palabras Clave: calidad de vida, dimensiones, crecimiento demográfico, Gran Santa Fe,  Argentina.  ABSTRACTThe unequal living conditions in an urban population generate social problems, and according to demographic dynamics, requires different demands and challenges to government administrations, mainly municipal, to reduce imbalances. The Santa Fe Metropolitan Area (AGSF) is characterized by imbalances in terms of quality of life and at the same time while having a low overall growth, this is not uniform throughout the all the metropolitan area. This article describes the stages of elaboration of an index of quality of life for the AGSF by crossing data provided by socioeconomic and environmental variables that emanate from various sources of information and were grouped into 'public' dimensions and 'private' of homes, in order to assess the specific effect of these two aspects in determining the quality of life. Another issue of the work lies in the analysis of the link between population growth and quality of life, without seeking to establish a relation direct cause – effect, to compare general trends of expansion or contraction of population groups with different quality of life, and its corresponding spatial implementation. The results show positive aspects of the methodology used, and may be useful the strategy to deal separately with the "dimensions" of the quality of life in order to further knowledge of the behavior of these aspects and their interrelations, in the study of urban spaces. Keywords: Quality of Life, Dimensions, Population Growth, Santa Fe Metropolitan Area, Argentina.
