Self-Reported Population Health: An International Perspective based on EQ-5D

Self-Reported Population Health: An International Perspective based on EQ-5D

Public health

During the 26 years since EQ-5D was first developed, a substantial amount of
research has been carried out worldwide using the instrument. Among these studies
were surveys conducted in various countries that measured the health-related
quality of life of the general population. These studies have been informative in
providing new data on population health characteristics, complementing the traditionally
collected morbidity and mortality data.
The EuroQol Group is frequently asked to provide EQ-5D population reference
data (sometimes called population norm data or simply population norms) for a
specific country or international region. Such data can be used to compare profiles
for patients with specific conditions with data for the average person in the general
population in a similar age and/or gender group. Also the burden of disease in
question can be compared to the general population’s health.
