How are QoL Metrics Used in Epidemiological Research?
QoL metrics are used in epidemiological research to: 1. Evaluate Interventions: Assess the impact of medical treatments, public health interventions, and healthcare policies on patients' quality of life. 2. Monitor Population Health: Track changes in the quality of life at the population level over time, identifying trends and disparities. 3. Identify Risk Factors: Explore associations between various risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic status, lifestyle behaviors) and quality of life outcomes.
