Population Norms for the EQ-5D

Abstract
This chapter presents the population norm data using EQ-5D for each country. EQ-5D norms are reported for EQ VAS and EQ-5D index values, and for self-reported problems on each of the five dimensions of the EQ-5D descriptive system, all classified by age and gender. These EQ-5D norms can be used as reference data to compare patients with specific conditions and to assess the burden of the disease in question.
