Health-related quality of life - United States, 2006 and 2010.

Abstract

Health-related quality of life is physical and mental health, as perceived by a person or group of people, during a period of time. This measure complements traditional public health measures of mortality and morbidity. Fair or poor self-rated health, physically unhealthy days, and mentally unhealthy days are reported by higher percentages of women, older persons, minority racial/ethnic groups (except Asian/Pacific Islanders), and persons with less education, with lower annual household incomes, who are unemployed, with a disability or a chronic disease, and who are widowed, separated, or divorced than, respectively, men, younger persons, and non-Hispanic whites, and those with more education, with higher annual household incomes, who are employed by others or self-employed, without a disability or a chronic disease, and who are married.
