儿科生活质量量表（PedsQL）4.0是一份评估儿童和青少年健康相关生活质量的问卷，考虑他们发展的不同方面，包括身体，情感，社会和教育。我们验证了人口，社会和经济因素的影响，以及家庭状况，对健康相关的生活质量的一组城市的圣保罗，巴西的学龄儿童。PedsQL 4.0适用于240名2至18岁的儿童和青少年及其各自的父母。超过三分之二的家庭来自较低的社会阶层（C、D和E）。在评估不同社会经济阶层的健康相关生活质量时，观察到评分存在统计学显著差异，我们观察到情感、社会、心理和总分存在统计学显著差异。与其他城市儿童和青少年人群相比，通过访谈获得的PedsQL 4.0评分令人满意，这可能是由于研究人群的同质性。
The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 4.0 is a questionnaire that evaluates the health related quality of life of children and adolescents, considering different aspects of their development, including the physical, emotional, social and educational. We verified the impact of demographic, social, and economic factors, as well as the family situation, on the health related quality of life of a group of school children of the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The PedsQL 4.0 was applied to 240 children and adolescents aged 2 to 18 and their respective parents. More than two thirds of the families were from lower social strata (C, D, and E). A statistically significant difference was observed in scores when evaluating the health related quality of life across socioeconomic strata and we observed statistically significant differences in the emotional, social, psychosocial and total scores. The PedsQL 4.0 scores obtained through interviews were satisfactory when compared with other urban populations of children and adolescents, probably due to the homogeneity of the population studied.
