Quality of life (QoL) studies may provide information of change in health status in the population. Few studies have followed up previous cross-sectional studies to investigate any change in the QoL status of healthy children. The aim of the current study is to compare QoL in children 6⁻12 years old in two large cross-sectional studies of healthy children completed a decade apart.
In the current study children and parents from nine elementary schools (n = 2816) were included in a cross-sectional study investigating children's QoL. Using the Life Quality in Children and Adolescents (ILC), completed by both children and parents, the global QoL-score was estimated for 2297 children and 1639 parental reports. These results were compared to a similar study performed in 2004. The scores from both studies were divided into categories of below average, average and above average QoL. The percentage change of QoL between the two studies is presented.
Our results show that parents report that more children have below and above average QoL in 2015 compared to 2004. In contrast, more children scored in the average and above average QoL category in 2015 than in 2004.
Parents reported lower QoL and children higher QoL in 2015 compared to 2004.
生活质量（QoL）研究可能会提供有关人群健康状况变化的信息。很少有研究对先前的横断面研究进行随访，以调查健康儿童生活质量状况的任何变化。本研究的目的是比较在相隔十年完成的两项针对健康儿童的大型横断面研究中，6至12岁儿童的生活质量。
在本研究中，来自九所小学的儿童和家长（n = 2816）被纳入一项调查儿童生活质量的横断面研究。使用儿童和家长都完成的《儿童和青少年生活质量》（ILC），对2297名儿童和1639份家长报告进行了全球生活质量评分估计。这些结果与2004年进行的一项类似研究进行了比较。两项研究的评分分为生活质量低于平均水平、平均水平和高于平均水平三类。呈现了两项研究之间生活质量的百分比变化。
我们的结果表明，与2004年相比，家长报告称2015年生活质量低于和高于平均水平的儿童更多。相比之下，2015年生活质量处于平均水平和高于平均水平类别的儿童比2004年更多。
与2004年相比，家长报告2015年儿童生活质量较低，而儿童报告自己的生活质量较高。
