In this study the prognostic significance of a set of quality of life measures was tested with regard to mortality regardless of its cause, cardiovascular mortality, cancer mortality and mortality from other causes. From the population register of Gothenburg, Sweden, a sample was drawn consisting of one third of all 60-year-old men. The 945 men who met the criteria were invited to a medical examination. Information on the occurrence of 30 symptoms and 15 measures of well-being was obtained by questionnaire. Mortality data were obtained through official registers, death certificates and medical records. Of the symptoms at 60, breathlessness, cough, depression, bad appetite and feeling cold, all were significantly related to mortality during 15 years of follow-up. Of the well-being variables, the same was true of perceived health, physical fitness and appetite. This means that the quality of life has a strong bearing not only on the present life situation for these men but also for their future health.
在本研究中，针对无论何种原因导致的死亡、心血管疾病死亡、癌症死亡以及其他原因导致的死亡，测试了一组生活质量指标的预后意义。从瑞典哥德堡的人口登记册中抽取了一个样本，该样本由所有60岁男性的三分之一组成。符合标准的945名男性被邀请参加医学检查。通过问卷调查获取了30种症状的发生情况和15种幸福感指标的信息。死亡率数据通过官方登记册、死亡证明和医疗记录获得。在60岁时出现的症状中，呼吸急促、咳嗽、抑郁、食欲不振和感觉寒冷，在15年的随访期间均与死亡率显著相关。在幸福感变量方面，感知健康、身体健康和食欲也是如此。这意味着生活质量不仅对这些男性目前的生活状况有很大影响，而且对他们未来的健康也有很大影响。
