Sex differences in the relative contribution of social and clinical factors to the Health Utilities Index Mark 2 measure of health-related quality of life in older home care clients
Health and Quality of Life Outcomes , 09/03/09

Maxwell CJ et al. – For females and males, HRQL scores were negatively associated with conditions predictive or indicative of disability and with markers of psychosocial stress. Despite sex differences in the prevalence of social and clinical factors likely to affect HRQL, few varied significantly by sex in their relative impact on HUI2 scores. Further exploration of differences in the relative importance of clinical and psychosocial well–being (e.g., loneliness) to HRQL among female and male clients may help guide the development of sex–specific strategies for risk screening and care management.
