Abstract

Introduction: adherence to treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DT2) in the adult is a complex and multifactorial issue that combines aspects of the disease as not own, which impact on the quality of life. In Argentina there are great difficulties in paying for the entire treatment of the disease. The impact of income on health spending in DT2 is greater for lower income levels.

Objectives: to analyze differences in quality of life and metabolic objectives according to geographic regions and health benefits in adults with DT2 in Argentina; know the out of pocket expenses in health and health costs linked to DT2; establish an association between out of pocket spending with socioeconomic variables and compliance with metabolic objectives.

Materials and methods: over eight geographic regions of the Argentine Republic, 1.520 adult patients with DT2 were classified according to health benefit (without benefit, with benefits or retirees). Validated sel-freported questionnaire was applied.

Results: significant differences were found by geographic region for premature retirement due to DT2, the loss of perception of quality of life and the fulfillment of metabolic objectives. Statistical significance of out-of-pocket spending was found with the presence of family allowance, early retirement by DT2 and compliance with metabolic objectives.

Conclusions: disparity between the variables of quality of life, health expenditure and perception of subsidies was observed.
