What is An Assessment of Perceived Wellbeing in a Diabetic Population about?

## Abstract Perceived wellbeing in a diabetes mellitus population was assessed using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) in a group of diabetic patients aged 30–40 years (n=300) and age‐matched healthy controls (n=143). The NHP grades wellbeing into six categories: emotional reaction (ER), social isolation (SI), energy (E), pain (P), sleep (S) and physical mobility (PM). The Kruskal‐Wallis H test was used to compare patients with the control scores for each category. In all categories, the scores of patients were significant greater than controls, indicating reduced perception of wellbeing: ER 13.3 versus 10.5\*, SI 8.5 v 6.1\*; E 21.2 v 12.4\*; P 7.9 v 2.7\*; S12.2 v 9.3\*; PM 3.6 v 1.5\*; (patients v controls; \*p<0.05). Analysis of patient characteristics in relation to whether they scored positively or not on the NHP revealed a female preponderance, but no association with diabetes control, duration of diabetes, age at onset of diabetes or complications, except the presence of nephropathy.
