| Annotation | The authors performed a questionnaire survey of quality of life (QOL) assessment in older patients with dementia in Japan, and developed QOL-D. The final version consists of only 31 items grouped into six response sets, each with its own scale. Reliability is good to excellent, and validity is established, to some extent. The six domains of health-related QOL are divided into positive and negative aspects. The positive aspects have been shown to correlate positively with cognitive function and activities of daily living (ADLs) score, whereas the negative aspects have not. (RH). |
