Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the association of self-control with health-related quality of life and the possible mediation of the Body
Mass Index (BMI). A predictive cross-sectional study was conducted. Participated 273 adults, users of a primary health care center in Mexico
City, aged 18 to 65 years, with a BMI greater than 25. The SF-12 V1 and the Tangney, Baumeister and Boone’s Self-Control Scale were
applied. The results showed a significant association between self-control to physical and mental health quality of life; BMI was associated
with physical quality of life. No associations were found between BMI to mental quality of life and self-control. There were no evidence of a
mediation effect of BMI on the relationship between self-control and health-related quality of life. The results suggest that an overweight or
obese person with greater self-control has better perception of physical and emotional well-being, independently of BMI.
