The WLQ resulted in four composite subscores on time management, physical, mental-interpersonal, and output subscales. Subscale scores range from 0 (limited none of the time) to 100 (limited all of the time), and they indicate the percentage of time in the prior 2 weeks that the respondent was limited in performing the specific dimension of a job. The WLQ index is a weighted sum of scores from the four WLQ subscales. The WQL productivity loss score was based on the index score and indicates the percentage decrement in work output because of health problems.
