The children completed self-report measures of QoL and psychological adjustment, and the parents completed a questionnaire on QoL.RESULTS: Children with epilepsy and obesity reported the lowest levels of QoL and elevated levels of psychological problems, and parents of children with obesity reported the lowest levels of QoL. Adolescents reported worse adjustment than children. Regression models revealed that children's internalizing and externalizing problems were important, although distinct, explanatory factors of QoL across all groups.CONCLUSION: Children with chronic conditions, particularly epilepsy and obesity, are at increased risk for maladjustment. A routine assessment of QoL and psychological functioning should be performed in these children to better understand how specific conditions affect the lives of children with chronic conditions and their families. Family-oriented pediatrics should be considered, particularly in the treatment of obesity.",
