Abstract. | Osteoporosis can affect the quality of life in women who suffer from this condition. The aim of the article was to observe the dynamics of quality of life from year to year among women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Subjects included in the study completed the QUALEFFO41 questionnaire, a questionnaire specifically designed to measure quality of life. At the end of the study, worsening of the quality of life was observed in all areas covered by the QUALEFFO-41 questionnaire. |
Keywords: | osteoporosis, quality of life, QUALEFFO-41, bone density |
