Fagerlind H et al. – The results show that patients’ understanding of the two concepts of health and QoL partially overlap and partially differ. Patients’ understanding of the concepts is individual and diverse, which needs to be taken into account in patient–physician consultations to ensure good communication. Furthermore, the interpretation of results based on patient–reported outcomes instruments measuring health status and/or QoL needs to be further studied over time to identify possible changes in these conceptions.
