Research results show that among the 5 factors of the scale measuring quality of life in Vietnam, the factor of anxiety and sadness was the least recorded by patients. Up to 96.5% of subjects did not feel the presence of this factor.Up to 42.7% of the subjects felt a little element of pain and discomfort. Married people living with family had higher quality of life scores than single or separated/divorced people. The older the age group, the lower the mean score of quality of life (p<0.05). People with higher incomes had higher quality of life scores than those with lower incomes (p<0.05).
