Statistically differences (P <  0.05) in each dimension of EQ-5D between two groups based on Multinomial logistic regression (“No problem” was set as the base outcome); statistically differences (P <  0.05) in utility values of EQ-5D between two groups based on Tobit regressions; all regression adjusted for sex, age group, chronic conditions, economic status, education level, marital status, working status, basic medical insurance, commercial medical insurance, minimum travel time to the nearest health-care facility and residential areas
