“…These data coincide with the results of other studies, identifying the higher severity index as one of the main factors negatively related to the performance of physical activity ( 5 , 34 , 35 ). Although the accuracy of the measurement of quality of life in the older adult using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire has been questioned, suggesting its extension to other aspects of quality of life such as social contact, perception of the treatment received by others and level of independence, this tool has been recognized as adequate for comparing health-related quality of life among the older adult ( 36 ).…”

BackgroundPhysical activity is part of a healthy lifestyle in the older adult and is related to multiple variables that promote this behavior.ObjectiveTo identify the relationship and predictive power of sociodemographic variables, multimorbidity, severity index, risk of poor mental health, social support, affective support and confidential support with the time devoted to physical activity in the population over 65 years of age in the Valencian Community.MethodsCross-sectional descriptive analytical study of the data collected in the Health Survey of the Valencian Community on a total of 3,199 people over 65 years of age. The study variables were age, sex, educational level, marital status, social class, multimorbidity, severity index collected with the EQ-5D-5L tool, risk of poor mental health collected with the Goldberg general health questionnaire (GHQ-12), and perceived social, affective and confidential support collected with the Duke-Unc social support scale (Duke-UNC-11).ResultsAll variables, except affective support, are significantly related to the time of physical activity performed by people older than 65 years. The severity index has a predictive capacity of 13.7% of physical activity performed and age is able to predict 1.2% of this variable.ConclusionSex, age, education, social class, marital status, multimorbidity, risk of poor mental health or social support and confidentiality are related to the physical activity time of the Valencian population over 65 years of age. On the other hand, the variables severity index and age have been identified as variables capable of predicting up to 14.8% of the variance of the physical activity time variable in our study population.

“…To analyze the health satisfaction of the users of regional health and medical institutions and the influencing factors, we used health satisfaction as a dependent variable, and standardized 5-level EuroQol 5-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), a tool for measuring the quality of life affecting health satisfaction, as an influencing factor. The EQ-5D-5L was developed to improve the sensitivity and ceiling effect of the existing EQ-5D-3L ( 24 ), where the five areas are the same but the measurement level has been expanded from the three-level to the five-level Likert scale. As shown in Table 1 , the influencing factors consisted of five areas: mobility, self-management, daily activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression.…”

IntroductionIn this study, we investigated the health satisfaction levels of users of regional health and medical institutions in South Korea and the influencing factors.MethodsWe included randomly selected 300 people with experience in using health and medical institutions from panel data targeting the entire nation. We used questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) and sociodemographic characteristics to analyze the health satisfaction. EQ-5D-5L was used to measure health-related quality of life in five areas: mobility, self-management, daily activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was performed in three steps to examine the factors influencing health satisfaction.ResultsThe analysis showed that the health satisfaction was positively (+) correlated with monthly income, mobility, self-management, daily life, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, and negatively (−) correlated with the number of chronic diseases and type of health insurance. The influencing factors in Step 1 and 2 were chronic diseases (β = −0.380, −0.385), respectively. The influencing factors in Step 3 were pain/discomfort (β = 0.202), anxiety/depression (β = 0.257), and the number of chronic diseases (β = −0.222).DiscussionsThe current data suggested that regional health and medical institutions should focus their services on residents with chronic diseases. Moreover, they should expand physical activities to relieve physical pain or discomfort and provide services related to mental health. To accomplish these, we suggested that the government will need to promote post-service health checkup results as a key project, provide user-customized services, provide online services utilizing ICT, expanding the government's financial support, and building infrastructure.

“…Evidence suggests that health significantly contributes to older adults’ conceptualisation of QoL [ 33 , 34 ]. In the absence of a ‘gold standard’ for the assessment of QoL in older adults, we evaluated the relationship between EQ-5D and WHOQOL-OLD by correlating EQ-5D dimensions, indices and EQ VAS with the WHOQOL-OLD total score and facet scores.…”

European countries more than ever face shifts towards aging societies with accompanying challenges for health and aged care services. Economic evaluation has mainly relied on health measures such as EQ-5D across populations and conditions. We want to know how well the EQ-5D performs in the target population to avoid bias to the disadvantage of older adults and care-dependents. Therefore, we aim to explore differences and similarities of EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L in comparison to the old-age specific WHOQOL-OLD instrument in a sample of older adults receiving aged care services. We collected data from n = 329 older adults (≥65 years) receiving aged care services in Germany; the majority was at least 80 years and had varying care needs. We assessed instruments’ feasibility, test-retest reliability, instruments’ association and sensitivity to known-group differences. In terms of feasibility and test-retest reliability both EQ-5D versions performed better than the WHOQOL-OLD. All measures differentiated well between groups based on aspects of general health and care levels. The analysis of relationship between measures indicated that EQ-5D and WHOQOL-OLD assess partially overlapping, but distinct constructs. We found no clear evidence of superiority of either EQ-5D version over the other. The EQ-5D-5L performed better in terms of test-retest reliability and stronger correlations with WHOQOL-OLD facets. We conclude that using the WHOQOL-OLD alongside EQ-5D in this sample added further information on different aspects of quality of life.
