Objectives: Health-Significant Quality of Life Measure (Health-SigQOLM) provides a generic and dynamic assessment of Health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This study aims to assess the HRQOL among healthy and non-healthy participants with varying chronic diseases.
Results: Comparisons between healthy and non-healthy participants revealed statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) in the mean overall HRQOL score as well as across all its nine domains. Therefore, the Health-SigQOLM, along with its nine domains, is demonstrated to have adequate sensitivity in distinguishing between healthy and non-healthy study participants. This had supported the evidence that the Health-SigQOLM is a reliable and valid scale for measuring both generic and dynamic HRQOL.
