Résumé
BACKGROUND: Longitudinal administration of health-related quality of life instruments to a general, initially healthy population allows for changes to be assessed as they occur, rather than afterwards. The aim here was to investigate the impact of coronary artery disease occurrence on health-related quality of life. RESULTS: The 36-item Short-Form questionnaire was applied to the French SU.VI.MAX cohort in 1996 and 2001. Findings in 62 patients who developed coronary artery disease between the two measures were compared with those in 310 age- and sex-matched cardiovascular-free controls. The mean interval between the initial health-related quality of life assessment and coronary artery disease diagnosis was 34.5 (+/-19.6) months. Between the two health-related quality of life assessments, some dimensions decreased in the coronary artery disease group but not among controls. After adjustment (for body mass index, tobacco habits, diabetes and levels of circulating apolipoprotein A1 and B), the degree of change in health-related quality of life between the two groups differed by: -10.0 points (p=0.02) for the role-physical dimension, -10.6 points (p=0.02) for role-emotional, -4.7 points (p=0.03) for vitality and -8.8 points (p
