Abstract:
To evaluate the QUIK-R, a revised self-completed questionnaire for the quality of life (QOL), and to clarify the significance of measuring QOL in health evaluations, the results of 1,017 office workers were analyzed. The QUIK-R showed a high reliability and a high validity. There were significant correlations between the total score and the subject's age, sex, smoking habit, sleeping time, and exercise. Forty-two subjects with a good QUIK-R score had poor physical examination results. Our results show the usefulness of the QUIK-R and the importance of measuring the QOL in health evaluations.
