Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that has a high mortality rate and can affect a person's quality of life. One of the factors that affect quality of life is the physical environment such as temperature, humidity, lighting, noise and PM2.5. This study aims to determine the relationship of the physical environment to the quality of life of patients with type 2 DM. The research was using a case control study design with a ratio of 1: 2. Case samples were patients with type 2 DM with poor quality of life (46 people) and control samples were patients with type 2 DM with good quality of life (92 people). Interviews were conducted with the WHOQol questionnaire and measuring the physical environment in 138 patients with type 2 diabetes then analysed with the odd ratio test and logistic regression on the Stata application. The results of bivariate statistical tests obtained there is no significant relationship for the variables of humidity, lighting and PM2.5 on quality of life because the p-value> 0.05, while the variables associated with the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes are house temperature (OR = 4.833; 95% CI: 2.121-11.481) and noise (OR = 4.723; 95% CI: 2.075-10.895). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that house temperature was the most dominant on the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes. The role of environmental health workers in counselling healthy home characteristics and optimizing prolanis activities, to reduce the occurrence of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.
