世界卫生组织生活质量评估（WHOQOL-100）是在15个国际现场中心同时开发的，包括与生活质量有关的24个方面，分为4个较大的领域：身体，心理，社会关系和环境。它还包括一个方面，检查整体生活质量和一般健康观念。本文探讨了WHOQOL-100评估不同文化中生活质量感知的程度，以及它在这些文化中是否具有结构可比性。回归分析显示，所有4个领域在评估15个中心的生活质量中都很重要。结构方程模型建议进一步支持的建议，有普遍的方面和领域，是跨文化的重要性，在确定生活质量，并建议在域内的方面的排序是跨文化的可比性。
The World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment (WHOQOL-100) was developed simultaneously across 15 international field centers and includes 24 facets relating to quality of life, which are grouped into 4 larger domains: physical, psychological, social relationships, and environment. It also includes 1 facet examining overall quality of life and general health perceptions. This article examines the extent to which the WHOQOL-100 assesses quality of life perceptions in different cultures and whether it is structurally comparable in these cultures. Regression analysis showed all 4 domains to be important in assessing quality of Life in each of the 15 centers. Structural equation modeling suggested further support for the proposal that there are universal facets and domains that are cross-culturally important in determining quality of Life and suggested that the ordering of facets within domains is comparable across cultures.
