Its internal consistency, factorial structure, and construct validity were analyzed. Depression screening (PHQ-9) scores were used to divide subjects into two sub-samples with presumed different QOL levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A Cronbach's alpha of 0.92 demonstrated its internal consistency (English-version = 0.90, Spanish-version = 0.94). A one-single factor structure was documented (all items loadings &gt; 0.64), accounting for 59% of the items variance in the total sample; similar results were found for each language version. Correlation of the MQLI and PHQ-9 scores yielded an r = \u22120.58. Mild negative correlations with self-disclosed diagnosis of depression or other mental disorders, diabetes duration, and abnormal sensation on foot exam were found, but were non-significant with other diabetes aspects (e.g., HbA1c, retinopathy). A significant difference ( p &lt; 0.001) between the scores of two subsamples with presumed different levels of QOL (means = 8.02 vs. 5.84) was found.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The MQLI demonstrated coherence around the QOL concept. It correlated significantly with mental health (particularly depression), duration of diabetes, and possible neuropathy, but not with some diabetes-related factors. Its use in diabetic care settings is recommended, possibly supplemented by QOL diabetic-specific instruments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2190\/pm.40.4.d","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,24]],"date-time":"2011-01-24T21:11:02Z","timestamp":1295903462000},"page":"399-411","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Using a Brief 10\u2013Item Generic Measure of Quality of Life in English and Spanish Speaking Diabetic Patients"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Maria I.","family":"Zapata-Vega","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Elmhurst Hospital Center, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Rivera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Elmhurst Hospital Center, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nancy","family":"Tarlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Elmhurst Hospital Center, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Inci","family":"Bijan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Elmhurst Hospital Center, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Maurer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queens Hospital Center, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc08-9017"},{"key":"bibr2-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00019053-200422170-00002"},{"key":"bibr3-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc08-0985"},{"key":"bibr4-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-008-0731-9"},{"key":"bibr5-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11013-007-9076-9"},{"key":"bibr6-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/157339909788166828"},{"key":"bibr7-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11136-006-0042-8"},{"key":"bibr8-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diabres.2007.12.020"},{"key":"bibr9-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.20.3.299"},{"key":"bibr10-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1026485130100"},{"key":"bibr11-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00434746"},{"key":"bibr12-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.18.6.754"},{"key":"bibr13-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/dia.2005.7.497"},{"key":"bibr14-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00019053-200321170-00004"},{"key":"bibr15-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pec.2003.10.007"},{"key":"bibr16-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1524-4733.2000.36032.x"},{"key":"bibr17-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.17.4.267"},{"key":"bibr18-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005650-199307000-00005"},{"key":"bibr19-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1477-7525-5-47"},{"key":"bibr20-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1008959810698"},{"issue":"4","key":"bibr21-PM.40.4.d","first-page":"235","volume":"17","author":"Nicolucci A","year":"2004","journal-title":"Diabetes Nutrition & Metabolism"},{"key":"bibr22-PM.40.4.d","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11136-007-9172-x"},{"key":"bibr23-PM.40.4.d","unstructured":"Mezzich JE, Cohen N, Ruiperez M, Zapata-Vega MI, Hyzak SR.
