Excess body weight and obesity, especially at a young age, contribute to the development of a variety of diseases and impair quality of life. The high prevalence of overweight and obesity predetermines the topicality and social relevance of investigating various life quality aspects.The aim of this study was to determine the quality of life depending on the body weight in young people with normal weight, overweight, and obesity grade I. 96 people of both sexes aged 18 to 25 were surveyed. We took their histories, measured and evaluated anthropometric data including body mass, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist to hip ratio. According to the body mass index (BMI), the individuals were divided into 3 groups (32 persons in each) balanced by gender. Control group included individuals with normal body weight (BMI 18.50 – 24.99 kg/m2 ), with high body mass (BMI 25.00 – 29.99 kg/m2 ), and with obesity I degree (BMI 30.00 – 34.99 kg/m2 ). The percentage of body fat was calculated by the sum of three folds. The quality of life of the respondents was evaluated using the SF-36 (36-Item Short-Form Health Survey). The results were processed statistically. It has been found out that an increase in body weight is associated with a significant decrease in the quality of life among the young people. Female participants have demonstrated the most significant decrease in the role physical functioning, by 27.12%, the role emotional functioning, by 47.91%, and the deterioration of mental health by 23.57% compared with the relevant values in the individuals of the control group. The male participants have shown a significant decrease in the indicators of role physical functioning by 40.0%, a vitality index by 31.32%, and the role emotional functioning by 41.98% compared with the relevant indicators in the individuals of the control group. The data obtained have been confirmed by the formation of reliable correlations of average power between the quality of life and anthropometric indicators.

anthropometric indicators, body mass index, quality of life, increased body weight, obesity I degree.
