Differences in HRQOL (SF-36) between controls and wrist fracture patients, adjusted for age and sex.

SF-36 domain*	Controls n = 181	Wrist fracture n = 181
			p	OR per 10 points
Bodily pain	71.8 (2.1)	73.6 (2.1)	0.575	1.02 (0.95–1.10)
General health	73.0 (1.8)	76.1 (1.8)	0.180	1.07 (0.97–1.18)
Physical function	82.2 (1.7)	83.8 (1.7)	0.490	1.04 (0.94–1.14)
Physical role limitation	80.0 (3.1)	68.4 (3.0)	0.006	0.93 (0.88–0.98)
Mental health	83.9 (1.2)	85.8 (1.2)	0.216	1.09 (0.95–1.26)
Social function	91.4 (1.7)	84.0 (1.7)	0.002	0.85 (0.77–0.94)
Vitality	65.0 (1.7)	64.7 (1.6)	0.876	0.99 (0.91–1.09)
Emotional role limitation	85.9 (2.7)	78.5 (2.7)	0.043	0.94 (0.88–1.00)

Data are presented as mean (SE)

Bold p values indicate significant differences between the groups using logistic regression analysis after adjusting for age and sex.

* The score for each SF-36 domain ranges from 0 to 100, where 100 means perfect health. The SF-36 domain scores were divided by a factor of 10 to estimate the OR.
