Abstract
Height loss and vertebral deformity had independent effects on health-related quality of life evaluated by the European quality-of-life five-domain questionnaire (EQ-5D) in a cohort of 2,021 elderly Japanese men and women. Height loss aggravated EQ-5D more strongly than vertebral deformity in all domains, with different patterns.Keywords
