based on 8 dimensions of functioning (vision, hearing, speech, mobility, dexterity,
feelings, cognition and pain.)
- A score of 0.8 to 1.0 is considered to be very good or perfect health; scores
below 0.8 are considered to indicate moderate or severe functional health problems.

McMaster University's Centre for Health Economics and Policy Analysis, is based on
