Health related quality of life is the gap between our expectations of health and our experience of itPerception of quality of life varies between individuals and is dynamic within themPeople with different expectations will report that they have a different quality of life even when they have the same clinical conditionPeople whose health has changed may report the same level of quality of life when measures are repeatedCurrent measures do not take account of expectations and cannot distinguish between changes in the experience of disease and changes in expectations of health.
