Abstract

The association between health-related quality of life (HRQoL; Short-Form Health Survey-12; SF-12) and patient-reported morbidity-related symptoms measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15) is analyzed in a representative sample of older people in the general German population. Data from 1,659 people aged 60 to 85 years were obtained. Latent class analysis identified six classes of patients, which optimally categorize clusters of physical symptoms the participants reported: musculoskeletal impairments (39.8%), healthy (25.7%), musculoskeletal and respiratory/cardiac impairments (12.8%), musculoskeletal and respiratory impairments, along with bowel and digestion problems (12.9%), general impairments (4.9%), and general impairments with no bowel and digestion problems (4.8%). The participants’ SF-12 Physical Health Scores (&eegr;2 = .39) and their Mental Health Scores (&eegr;2 = .28) are highly associated with these latent classes. These associations remain virtually identical after controlling for age. The results provide evidence that profiles of patient-reported physical impairments correspond strongly with reduced HRQoL independently from aging processes.

德国老年人代表性样本中身体发病率与健康相关生活质量的关系

与健康相关的生活质量(HRQoL);简短健康调查-12;SF-12)和患者报告的由患者健康问卷-15 (PHQ-15)测量的发病相关症状在德国普通人群中老年人的代表性样本中进行分析。数据来自1659名年龄在60岁到85岁之间的人。潜在分类分析确定了六类患者，对参与者报告的身体症状进行了最佳分类:肌肉骨骼损伤(39.8%)，健康(25.7%)，肌肉骨骼和呼吸/心脏损伤(12.8%)，肌肉骨骼和呼吸损伤，以及肠道和消化问题(12.9%)，一般损伤(4.9%)和一般损伤，无肠道和消化问题(4.8%)。参与者的SF-12身体健康得分(&eegr;2 = .39)和心理健康得分(&eegr;2 = .28)与这些潜在类别高度相关。在控制了年龄因素后，这些关联基本保持不变。结果提供了证据，证明患者报告的身体损伤与HRQoL的降低密切相关，独立于衰老过程。
