Objective. To assess the quality of life (QOL) in hypertensive patients and to study the interrelation between the QOL indicators and the metabolic syndrome (MS) components. Design and methods. We examined 46 patients with stage II hypertension and 18 healthy subjects. Standard full clinical, laboratory and instrumental examination as well as QOL by MOS SF-36® questionnaire were performed in all subjects. Results and conclusions. Hypertensive patients and healthy subjects differed by the scale of general health (GH), physical functioning (PF), pain intensity (BP) and vitality (VT). We detected reverse correlation between the QOL indicators and all the components of MS, such as abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, dislipoproteinemia, degree of arterial hypertension, as well as with fibrinogen level.
