For the HUI2 attribute levels are as follows in terms of disability: 1 = none; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; and 4/5 = severe. For the HUI3, attribute levels differ based on the attribute. For vision, hearing and speech the attribute levels are as follows: 1 = none; 2 = mild, 3 and 4 = moderate; 5 and 6 = severe. For ambulation, dexterity, emotion, and pain the attribute levels are as follows: 1 = none; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4, 5, and 6 = severe. Finally, for cognition the attribute levels are as follows: 1 = none, 2 and 3 = mild, 4 = moderate; 5 and 6 = severe.
