“…For a general population sample of 173 individuals aged 75+ from Italy, Savioa et al [20] reported higher problem frequencies in pain/discomfort (67.3%) and anxiety/depression (53.3%), similar frequencies in usual activities (37.3%) and self-care (21.8%), and a lower frequency in mobility (40.0%); the EQ-VAS score was 68.0. Surveys which used the SF-12 in the elderly population samples also reported impaired physical health but average mental health summary scores [20,21,24], similar to our survey. Yet, similar to our results, mean MCS scores reported by these surveys did not differ from general population average, indicating that mental health does not deteriorate with age.…”

Background Due to demographic change, the advanced elderly represent the fastest growing population group in Europe. Health problems tend to be frequent and increasing with age within this cohort. Aims of the study To describe and compare health status of the elderly population in six European countries and to analyze the impact of socio-demographic variables on health. Methods In the European Study of the Epidemiology of Mental Disorders (ESEMeD), representative non-institutionalized population samples completed the EQ-5D and Short Form-12 (SF-12) questionnaires as part of personal computer-based home interviews in 2001-2003. This study is based on a subsample of 1659 respondents aged ≥ 75 years from Belgium (n = 194), France (n = 168), Germany (n = 244), Italy (n = 317), the Netherlands (n = 164) and Spain (n = 572). Descriptive statistics, bivariate- (chi-square tests) and multivariate methods (linear regressions) were used to examine differences in population health. Results 68.8% of respondents reported problems in one or more EQ-5D dimensions, most frequently pain/discomfort (55.2%), followed by mobility (50.0%), usual activities (36.6%), self-care (18.1%) and anxiety/depression (11.6%). The proportion of respondents reporting any problems increased significantly with age in bivariate analyses (age 75-79: 65.4%; age 80-84: 69.2%; age ≥ 85: 81.1%) and differed between countries, ranging from 58.7% in the Netherlands to 72.3% in Italy. The mean EQ VAS score was 61.9, decreasing with age (age 75-79: 64.1; age 80-84: 59.8; age ≥ 85: 56.7) and ranging from 60.0 in Italy to 72.9 in the Netherlands. SF-12 derived Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores varied little by age and country. Age and low educational level were associated with lower EQ VAS and PCS scores. After controlling for socio-demographic variables and reported EQ-5D health states, mean EQ VAS scores were significantly higher in the Netherlands and Belgium, and lower in Germany than the grand mean. Conclusions More than two thirds of the advanced elderly report impairment of health status. Impairment increases rapidly with age but differs considerably between countries. In all countries, health status is significantly associated with socio-demographic variables.

“…Research concerned with the total adult population (18 and older) similarly found significant gender differences; i.e. females typically reported more problems in EQ-5D [10,14,20] dimensions and lower PCS and MCS scores [21]. In comparison to studies that solely analyzed elderly cohorts the differences were much less pronounced though.…”

“…74 The validity of the Nottingham Health Profile, SF-12 and EQ-5D for people with dementia is also questionable. [75][76][77] The content, format and instructions of HRQoL instruments must be appropriate to people with dementia, given their cognitive difficulties. By definition, generic measures are not necessarily designed in a way that makes them easy for a person with dementia to complete.…”

HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public...

Validation and normative data of health status measures in older people: the Islington study

Abstract: The SF-12 and HSQ-12 are acceptable and valid as health status instruments in large community-based studies of older people. The HSQ-12, but not the SF-12, is acceptable and valid for people with dementia.
