Comparison of Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) summary scores, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy – Anemia (FACIT-An) scores and handgrip strength by anemia status. White bars represent SF-36, FACIT-An scores and handgrip strength for subjects with anemia, filled-in bars represent SF-36, FACIT-An scores and handgrip strength for subjects without anemia. The SF-36 physical component (PCS) and mental health component (MCS) scores are shown. FACIT fatigue and non-fatigue scores are shown. The overall FACIT-An score is the sum of the fatigue and non-fatigue scores. Mean values are shown in the bars. Lines above bars represent one positive standard deviation. Statistical significance (P values) based on t-tests are shown above each comparison between anemia and no anemia groups.
