“…Most commonly, HRQoL has been defined as well-being, satisfaction with life and happiness related to the health of an individual [18,19]. It is commonly agreed that HRQoL is multidimensional, consisting of at least three core domains: physical (self-rated health status, disability or ability to perform activities of daily living), emotional (anxiety, depression and cognitive indicators) and social (personal and wider social capital, social support and activities) [15,16,20,21].…”

Given that food is essential for life and that there is currently no cure for food hypersensitivity (FHS), quality of life is a key outcome measure for those affected. The quality of life of children and teenagers with FHS is particularly important given that they must learn to manage their FHS while also contending with normal developmental challenges. This article will review the current state of quality of life research in this important area, and discusses the impact of FHS on the quality-of-life of children and teenagers, the availability and suitability of disease-specific health-related quality-of-life measures for this population, and the identification of factors that may influence their health-related quality of life. Two previous reviews have been conducted in this area, and this article aims to extend this work by including recent publications and qualitative studies on this topic

“…However, the specific dimensions are labeled differently by different authors [7]. For example, these broad dimensions subsume more specific dimensions such as emotions, cognitive function, economic status, and intelligence [8], and they may incorporate friends and family [9]. While the theoretical underpinnings of HRQOL may be consistent across models, variations in terminology for analogous concepts make comparison across studies very difficult.…”

BackgroundA systematic literature review was conducted to (a) identify the most frequently used health-related quality of life (HRQOL) models and (b) critique those models.MethodsOnline search engines were queried using pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. We reviewed titles, abstracts, and then full-text articles for their relevance to this review. Then the most commonly used models were identified, reviewed in tables, and critiqued using published criteria.ResultsOf 1,602 titles identified, 100 articles from 21 countries met the inclusion criteria. The most frequently used HRQOL models were: Wilson and Cleary (16%), Ferrans and colleagues (4%), or World Health Organization (WHO) (5%). Ferrans and colleagues’ model was a revision of Wilson and Cleary’s model and appeared to have the greatest potential to guide future HRQOL research and practice.ConclusionsRecommendations are for researchers to use one of the three common HRQOL models unless there are compelling and clearly delineated reasons for creating new models. Disease-specific models can be derived from one of the three commonly used HRQOL models. We recommend Ferrans and colleagues’ model because they added individual and environmental characteristics to the popular Wilson and Cleary model to better explain HRQOL. Using a common HRQOL model across studies will promote a coherent body of evidence that will more quickly advance the science in the area of HRQOL.
