The effect of weight loss on changes in health-related quality of life among overweight and obese women with urinary incontinence
Objective To estimate the effect of change in weight and change in urinary incontinence ( UI ) frequency on changes in preference-based measures of health-related quality of life ( HRQL ) among overweight and obese women with UI participating in a weight loss trial . Methods We conducted a longitudinal cohort analysis of 338 overweight and obese women with UI enrolled in a r and omized clinical trial comparing a behavioral weight loss intervention to an educational control condition . At baseline , 6 , and 18 months , health utilities were estimated using the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 ( HUI3 ) , a transformation of the SF-36 to the preference-based SF-6D , and the estimated Quality of Well-Being ( eQWB ) score ( a summary calculated from the SF-36 physical functioning , mental health , bodily pain , general health perceptions , and role limitations –physical subscale scores ) . Potential predictors of changes in these outcomes were examined using generalized estimating equations . Results In adjusted multivariable models , weight loss was associated with improvement in HUI3 , SF-6D , and eQWB at 6 and 18 months ( P < 0.05 ) . Increases in physical activity also were independently associated with improvement in HUI3 ( P = 0.01 ) and SF-6D ( P = 0.006 ) scores at 18 months . In contrast , reduction in UI frequency did not predict improvements in HRQL at 6 or 18 months . Conclusion Weight loss and increased physical activity , but not reduction in UI frequency , were strongly associated with improvements in health utilities measured by the HUI3 , SF-6D , and eQWB . These findings provide important information that can be used to inform cost – utility analyses of weight loss interventions
