Because previous studies showed some associated factors that may influence the HRQoL of pregnant women living with HIV [ 10 , 11 ], we include relevant variables into demographic variables. One-way ANOVA and Chi-square tests or Fisher’s exact method are conducted to compare the differences in responses of the EQ-5D health state description system, mean EQ-VAS scores, mean PCS-12 and MCS-12 scores among the different demographic characteristics.…”

Essa preocupação está ligada tanto a adultos com idade avançada quanto a adultos jovens.…”

“…(13,15,20) O domínio PREFI promove baixa QV, sendo que fatores de vulnerabilidade social como desemprego, baixa renda e escolaridade, podem estar relacionados à queda da QV, interferindo no investimento dos cuidados de si. (6,14,15,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)26) Em contrapartida, o domínio SAVI obteve alta pontuação (75,52), semelhante, apenas, ao escore de outros dois estudos. (15,22) Altos escores nesse domínio podem estar associados com o vínculo empregatício ou a aposentadoria (renda fixa), além disso, pode estar associado a maiores condições de desfrutar a vida, sentindo-se no controle dela, utilizando do trabalho, muitas vezes, como momento de socialização.…”
