The EQ-5D and EQ-HWB fit the perceptions of quality of life from a Chinese perspective: a concept mapping study
The EQ-5D items align well with the somatic and partially with the mental clusters, while the EQ-HWB also covers the adaptation cluster and the remaining mental cluster aspects. Both instruments reflect the QoL perceptions of Chinese individuals, although EQ-5D focuses more on health than overall well-being. Cultural differences affect priorities: participants in China value physical health most, whereas those abroad emphasize social connections.
