This study assessed health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in Argentina using the EQ-5D-3L. Results show most Argentinians report good or very good health, with some experiencing limitations in daily activities.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Economics
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a crucial indicator of population well-being.
  • Understanding national HRQOL is vital for evidence-based health policy and resource allocation.
  • Argentina's first National Risk Factors Survey provides a unique dataset for this analysis.

Purpose:

  • To describe the general population's health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in Argentina.
  • To create a national HRQOL atlas utilizing local social values and survey data.
  • To analyze EQ-5D-3L responses, including self-reported visual analog scale (SR-VAS) and preference values (PV).

Summary:

  • A cross-sectional study analyzed data from 41,392 subjects, representing 96% of Argentina's adult population.

  • 8.82% reported excellent health, while 42.8% experienced limitations in at least one EQ-5D domain.
  • Mean SR-VAS was 0.75, with population-based TTO and VAS weights of 0.90 and 0.87, respectively. Provincial differences were minimal.

    • Impact:

    • This study provides a comprehensive population-based HRQOL assessment for Argentina using the EQ-5D-3L with local preference values.
    • The generated HRQOL atlas offers valuable country-level and geographic insights.
    • It serves as a foundational resource for future public health research and interventions in Argentina.
