This study describes the utility scores of the SF-6D, standardized for the Brazilian urban population.
Five thousand individuals, over the age of 15, were assessed in the five regions of the country, in 16 capitals. The sample consisted of representative quotas of the Brazilian population. The selection of households was random. Face-to-face approach was applied in the household interviews. The SF-6D questionnaire was used to assess the measure of utility. Sociodemographics, household income and work status were also evaluated.
The mean score of utility assessed by the SF-6D for the study population was 0.82 (015). The scores were lower for females (0.79), and as age increases, the utility scores progressively decrease. Individuals who reported health problems affecting their work activities presented the lowest scores (0.64).
This study describes the utility scores using the SF-6D, standardized for the Brazilian urban population. These values will be useful for understanding the impact of interventions on health and quality of life in the population, assisting decision-making in the health sector.
本研究描述了针对巴西城市人口进行标准化的SF-6D效用得分。
在该国五个地区的16个首府对5000名15岁以上的个体进行了评估。样本由巴西人口的代表性配额组成。家庭的选择是随机的。在家庭访谈中采用面对面的方式。使用SF-6D问卷来评估效用指标。还对社会人口统计学、家庭收入和工作状况进行了评估。
研究人群通过SF-6D评估的平均效用得分为0.82(0.15)。女性得分较低(0.79),并且随着年龄的增加,效用得分逐渐降低。报告有影响其工作活动的健康问题的个体得分最低(0.64)。
本研究描述了使用针对巴西城市人口进行标准化的SF-6D的效用得分。这些数值将有助于理解干预措施对人群健康和生活质量的影响,辅助卫生部门的决策。
