Inequality and heterogeneity in health-related quality of life: findings based on a large sample of cross-sectional EQ-5D-5L data from the Swedish general population

Fitsum Sebsibe Teni et al.

Summary: This study investigated inequality and heterogeneity in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Sweden, providing EQ-5D-5L population reference data. Results showed a socioeconomic gradient in HRQoL, with the strongest association between diseases/conditions and EQ VAS scores seen for depression and mental health problems. Adjusting for health-related behaviors and conditions slightly reduced, but did not eliminate, socioeconomic inequalities in HRQoL.
