背景：使用偏好加权评分来衡量自我报告的一般健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）的许多指标在美国的人口调查和临床研究中被广泛使用。目的：在美国横断面人口调查中获得老年人在 6 个一般 HRQoL 指标上的年龄标准，并比较 HRQoL 中的年龄相关趋势。 EuroQol EQ-5D、健康公用事业指数 Mark 2、健康公用事业指数 Mark 3、SF-36v2 (TM)（用于计算 SF-6D）、幸福质量量表自填表格以及健康和活动限制指数通过电话采访对 3844 名年龄在 35-89 岁的非机构化成年人进行的全国调查样本中的每位受访者进行评估。 65-89 岁的人群以及非裔美国人比例较高的电话交换机被过度抽样。使用抽样和分层后权重计算按性别划分的年龄平均值，以根据美国成年人口调整结果。结果：6 个指数按性别显示出与年龄相关的 HRQoL 的相似模式；然而，不同指数的平均值存在显着差异。所有年龄段的女性报告的 HRQoL 均略低于男性。根据所有指标的衡量，65-74 岁人群的 HRQoL 似乎比下一个更年轻十年的人要高一些。结论：六项 HRQoL 指标显示出美国老年人人口标准的相似但不完全相同的趋势。这里报告的结果为 6 个自我报告的 HRQoL 指数提供了参考值。
Background: A number of indexes measuring self-reported generic health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) using preference-weighted scoring are used widely in population surveys and clinical studies in the United States.Objective: To obtain age-by-gender norms for older adults on 6 generic HRQoL indexes in a cross-sectional US population survey and compare age-related trends in HRQoL.Methods: The EuroQol EQ-5D, Health Utilities Index Mark 2, Health Utilities Index Mark 3, SF-36v2 (TM) (used to compute SF-6D), Quality of Well-being Scale self-administered form, and Health and Activities Limitations index were administered via telephone interview to each respondent in a national survey sample of 3844 noninstitutionalized adults age 35-89. Persons age 65-89 and telephone exchanges with high percentages of African Americans were oversampled. Age-by-gender means were computed using sampling and poststratification weights to adjust results to the US adult population.Results: The 6 indexes exhibit similar patterns of age-related HRQoL by gender; however, means differ significantly across indexes. Females report slightly lower HRQoL than do males across all age groups. HRQoL seems somewhat higher for persons age 65-74 compared with people in the next younger age decade, as measured by all indexes.Conclusions: Six HRQoL measures show similar but not identical trends in population norms for older US adults. Results reported here provide reference values for 6 self-reported HRQoL indexes.
