THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPPORT GROUP IN IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND WELL BEING IN PATIENTS WITH OSTEOPOROSIS

There are few studies that assessed that a control group could have a potential effect on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) on patients with osteoporosis. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied for testing the normal distribution, the t-student test for comparing the medium values in cases of two independent samples, if the probability distribution was normal. (Fig.2) We obtained significant internal comparative differences, accompanied by a higher effect size in the ASPOR group, the F omnibus test showing the effectiveness in improving the quality of life in the ASPOR group, compared to the placebo and control groups.
