“…Although these findings contrast other studies [14,15], the differences observed may be due to differences in the number of levels used to classify smoking patterns. [14,15]. In our study, low risk drinkers had the best health and non-drinkers reported the poorest health in all three cohorts, supporting finding from other EQ-5D research [44].…”

Purpose: To investigate how SF-6D utility scores change with age between generations of women, and to quantify the relationship of SF-6D with lifestyle factors across life-stages.Methods: Up to seven waves of self-reported, longitudinal data were drawn for the 1973-78 (young, N=13772), 1946-51 (mid-age, N=12792), 1921-26 (older, N=9972) cohorts from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health. Mixed effects models were employed for analysis.Results: Young and mid-age women had similar average SF-6D scores at baseline (0.63-0.64), which remained consistent over 16 year period. However, older women had lower scores at baseline at 0.57 which steadily declined over 15 years. Across cohorts, low education attainment, greater difficulty in managing on income, obesity, physical inactivity, heavy smoking, non-drinking and increasing stress levels were associated with lower SF-6D scores. The magnitude of effect varied between cohorts. SF-6D scores were lower amongst young women with high risk drinking behaviours than low-risk drinkers. Mid-age women who were underweight, never married, or underwent surgical menopause also reported lower SF-6D scores. Older women who lived in remote areas, who were ex-smokers, or were underweight reported lower SF-6D scores. Conclusion:The SF-6D utility score is sensitive to differences in lifestyle factors across adult lifestages. Gradual loss of physical functioning may explain the steady decline in health for older women. Key factors associated with SF-6D include physical activity, body mass index, menopause status, smoking, alcohol use and stress. Factors associated with poorer SF-6D scores vary in type and magnitude at different life stages.3

“…More recently, Fernández-de-las-Peñ as et al 16 report on estimates from the 2006 Spanish National Health Survey to assess the prevalence of neck and low back pain with occupation and income as part of a profile of socio-economic status. Two recent companion Spanish studies have reported on the overall prevalence and correlates of pain 17 and the impact of pain on health-related quality-of-life and healthcare resource utilization 18 .…”

The experience of pain, in particular severe daily pain, has a substantial negative impact both on labor force participation in Spain as well as reported absenteeism and presenteeism. As a measure of health status, it clearly has an impact that outstrips other health status measures. Whether or not pain is considered as a disease in its own right, the experience of chronic pain, as defined here, presents policy-makers with a major challenge. Programs to relieve the burden of pain in the community clearly have the potential for substantial benefits from societal, individual, and employer perspectives.

“…A recent study covering five EU countries-the UK, France, Spain, Italy, and Germany-found that pain severity and frequency had the strongest association with HRQoL, traditional provider, visits, and hospitalizations of all variables considered in a comprehensive multivariate modeling framework 12 . The NHWS has also supported a separate analysis for Spain to assess the impact of pain severity and frequency on HRQoL, health status, and healthcare resource utilization 13 .…”
