  2. What is Quality of Life (QoL)? • Difficult to define • Multidimensional: • Subjective • Objective • Not a static definition – varies with time and from person to person. • Quantifying QoL – important to improve populations’ well being.

  6. Protocol • Primary objective • Quantify the Health Related-Quality of Life (HR-QoL) of the adult population in Oporto and South of Douro region. • Compare measurement scales and subscales and analyse the agreement between two broadly used HR-QoL generic instruments – EQ-5D and SF-36. • Secondary objectives • Compare results between typical groups: • Age • Sex • Compare the results of our study with the results of pre-existing studies.

  7. Protocol • Study design • Cross-Sectional Survey • Cheap • Quick • No follow up, less resources
