This cross-sectional study was conducted in five PHC centers in Al-Khobar area during the period between 5th May - 20th December 2002 G. A random sample of 225 type 2 diabetic patients and 225 non diabetic controls was selected from these five PHC Centers. The controls were matched for age, sex and number from each PHC center. The mean age of cases was 50.0 10.0 years and controls 49.3 10.3 respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between them (P = 0.526). There was low socioeconomic status and educational level in type 2 diabetic patients. Obesity was significantly higher in diabetics than controls. HRQOL of type 2 diabetic patients was significantly lower than controls. Physical Component Health Summary Scale (PCS) mean score was 41.0 9.0 and Mental Component Health Summary Scale (MCS) was 47.8 9.1 in type 2 diabetics, while PCS mean score was 47.5 9.5 and MCS was 51.5 9.4 in controls, respectively.
