Obesity is a chronic disease that has been progressively affecting a growing number of people in the world. Since it is a hard to control pathology that favors the emergence of other health conditions, there is a pressing need to undertake research that might contribute to enhance treatment, as well as improve quality of life and adaptive efficacy. Therefore, this study aims at evaluating obese people s quality of life perception (QL) and adaptive efficacy by relating the results obtained from evaluation of their QL perception with the results from adaptive efficacy, as well as the results from the Global Functioning Evaluation (AGF). For that purpose, the WHOQOL-100 Portuguese-version questionnaire was employed to evaluate their quality of life perception, and a Preventive Diagnosis Interview Functional Adaptive Diagnostic Scale (FADS) was also undertaken as regards adaptive efficacy, to evaluate thirty obese persons (Body Mass Index BMI >=30 kg/m2), with an average age of 52.33, who use the services of anambulatory care center located in the Greater ABC region, in the State of Sao Paulo. The majority of participants have degree I of obesity 46.70%, 33.30% have degree II and 20.00% degree III. The majority started to gain weight at the start of pregnancy (43.30%). The second period during which subjects started to lose control of their body weight occurred between the ages of 40 and 50 (20.00%). In overall evaluation of QL, it has been observed that domain VI Spiritual/Religious/Personal Belief Aspects had the highest average score (16.17 - DP=2.95 [equivalent to 80.83% of the maximum score that could be obtained]), when compared to the remaining evaluated domains. On the other hand, domain I Physical/Fitness provided the owest average score (11.77 - P=2.78 58.83%). All participants are under adaptive nefficacy: Group 2 Light Inefficacy (26.7%), Group 3 oderate Inefficacy (33.3%) and group 4 Severe Inefficacy (30.0%). As regards the global functioning evaluation (GFE),36.67% are observed to fall in the interval between 51-60 points; 23.33% of participants are in the interval between 31-50 points; and only 23.33% obtained a score above 70 points. By correlating the results from the evaluations, strong, positive and significant relations have been found between the evaluation on quality of life perception, adaptive efficacy and global functioning.
