Mean scores for each of the eight SF-36 domains are presented. The SF-36 contains 36 questions assessing each domain and a mean score is produced for each (range 0–100), with a higher score indicating a greater quality of life. Results for SF-36 telephone-administered norms from the US general population are presented for comparison (2005–2006, age 35–89yr).
