Generic measures of quality of life have a wide application in health research. They measure disease impact by comparing scores in patient groups with a healthy population. They also facilitate comparative studies between different: patient groups. The SF-36 Health Survey quantifies respondents’ perceptions of their functioning in eight dimensions of daily life.Keywords
