Abstract
High relative humidity of the air caused by frequent unfavourable weather (fog, flooding, daily fluctuations of temperature) is one of the triggers of bronchial constriction that significantly worsens the course of asthma and leads to the increased number of hospital admission. The people with osmotic airway hyperresponsiveness are expected to have the changes in the quality of life in the seasons of the year with high air humidity. The aim of the research was to reveal the features of general and specific quality of life of patients with osmotic airway hyperresponsiveness in contrast seasons of the year. 65 patients of asthma were examined with the questionnaires of SF-36, AQLQ, HADS. High frequency of anxious depression disorders in patients with osmotic hyperresponsiveness and the suppressive effect of anxiety on the low self-esteem of general and specific quality of life in this group in dry season were found. The dominating influence of high humidity on all aspects of quality of life was shown. In blight and humid period of the year the dependence of the majority of components of general and specific quality of life from each other is neutralized and the influence of anxiety on the self-esteem of health fully disappears.
