Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between quality of life and Mibyeong
index of abnormal symptoms by the Mibyeong state.
Methods : A total of 1,100 people were recruited into this study and were collected by specialized research
company. The data were collected by personal information using MBI(Mibyeong Index) and SF-12 (Short
form-12) and were analyzed with SPSS (version 21.0) computer program, and included Pearson’s chi-square
test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis.
Results : The Mibyeong Index which represents abnormal symptom type showed significant difference for
Mibyeong state (p<.001). In Total subject, fatigue, pain, low sleep quality and indigestion were found to
be significant predictors of PCS(Physical Component Summary). In Healthy group, pain was found to be
significant predictor of PCS. In MI 1 group, fatigue, pain, indigestion and anxiety were found to be
significant predictors of PCS. In MI 2 group, fatigue, pain and low sleep quality were found to be significant
predictors of PCS.
In Total subject, fatigue, depression, anger and anxiety were found to be significant predictors of MCS
(Mental Component Summary). In Healthy group, indigestion and anxiety were found to be significant
predictors of MCS. In MI 1 group, depression and anger were found to be significant predictors of MCS.
In MI 2 group, fatigue and depression were found to be significant predictors of MCS.
Conclusions : The relationship between Quality of life and MBI changes according to Mibyeong state. We
expect that this result could be contribute to health management of people in Mibyeong state. |
