Abstract

Objectives: To assess the quality of life (QOL) and pain intensity in individuals with osteoporosis. Methods: We evaluated by the MOS SF-36 and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), twelve subjects with osteoporosis. For the variables described in the questionnaire regarding the intensity of pain, with significance set at p <0.05 was used to test linear correlation of Pearson. Results: At the intersections between VAS and the domains of MOS SF-36, one can observe statistical significance for the general health, vitality and social aspects. We observed a low rate for pain intensity (3.1) and the average score of 42 ranked in good QOL. Conclusion: The QOL of patients with osteoporosis is classified as good or very good, and the interviewees showed a pain intensity was low, suggesting it would not affect the QOL of the population assessed.
