- Abstract
Parameters of life quality in 12 patients with type 1 spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA1) in the Yakut population were studied. The control group was 12 healthy individuals. A SF-36 questionnaire was used to determine life quality, reflecting overall well-being and satisfaction degree with the physical and psychological components of health. According to the research results, a decrease in the life quality occurs for most indicators of hereditary neurological pathology. This is evidenced by statistically significant differences in their averages compared to healthy individuals. A life quality feature of Yakut SCA1 patients can be considered a relatively good preservation of mental health. Patients also maintain vital activity, normal level of communication and social contacts that are quite comparable to those of healthy persons.
