Resumo(s)
Objective: Quality of life was measured using the EQ-5D index for Portugal and a Self-Assessed Ranking of Health (SARH) to understand which patients suffer the most
decrease in quality of life: diabetics or hypertensive.
Method: Using the National Health Survey (NHS), two analyses were conducted on
5649 respondents. The EQ-5D index was calculated by matching questions in the NHS
with its dimensions. The SARH was calculated based on a specific question in the NHS.
Results: Differences between diseases do not occur using the EQ-5D index. Using the
SARH, type 1 diabetics suffer the most while hypertensive suffers the least.
