Relationships between SF-36 health profile and bone mineral density: the Hertfordshire Cohort Study

Abstract: We utilised the Hertfordshire Cohort Study (HCS) to relate bone mineral density (BMD) to SF-36 health-related quality of life scores. We studied 737 men and 675 women who had completed a home interview and clinic. Four hundred and ninety-eight men and 468 women subsequently attended for bone densitometry [dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)]. SF-36 questionnaire responses were mapped to eight domains: physical function (PF), role physical (RP), role emotional (RE), social functioning (SF), mental health (MH… Show more

“…Studies that compared women with and without BMD-measured osteoporosis found no significant differences in these outcomes [42,43]. However, these studies compared normal, osteopenic and osteoporotic women, and while scores for osteoporotic women did seem worse, differences between normal and osteopenic women were minimal.…”

“…Poorer functioning (assessed by SF-36 questionnaire) is associated with lower total femoral BMD in middle-aged men (but less so in women) adjusting for known co-morbidities[35].…”

“…This questionnaire assesses eight domains: PF (physical function), RP (role-physical), BP (bodily pain), GH (general health), VT (vitality), SF (social function), RE (role-emotional), MH (mental health), and two summary scores: PCS (physical component summary) and MCS (mental component summary) [18]. PCS is the average of the first four domains, and MCS is the average of the last four domains.…”

“…Each domain is scored and interpreted separately, rather than obtaining a total score, so each question was analysed individually and grouped according to the domains that they represent. All domain scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better HRQL [18].…”
