Notes: Data are presented as mean and standard deviation (SD) or percentage with odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals within parentheses. EQ-5D = the EuroQol five-dimension questionnaire, COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, RA = rheumatoid arthritis, DM = diabetes mellitus, OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval. 1The adjusted odds ratio expresses the likeliness of reporting a problem in the non-COPD groups compared with the COPD group after adjusting for sex, age, smoking, BMI, educational level, employment status, economic problems, and living alone.
