There was a significant relationship between DLQI scores and the duration of the disease (r=0.3, P<0.001) while there was no significant relationship between DLQI scores and age (r=0.1, P=0.2).Conclusion: Evaluation of QUALITY OF LIFE and DEPRESSION in patients with VITILIGO and consequences of the disease on patients' lives should be considered.
