A national survey in the UK used the EuroQoL EQ-5D questionnaire to assess population health. The study involved 3395 adults and measured health across five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Results showed that one-third of respondents reported pain or discomfort, with variations in health perceptions based on age, social class, education, housing, economic status, and smoking. The EQ-5D questionnaire was found to be a practical tool for measuring population health and detecting subgroup differences. The study also compared health outcomes across different demographic factors. Older adults, women over 70, the unemployed, sick or disabled, and smokers reported higher rates of health problems. Those from lower social classes and with less education also had higher rates of health issues. People living in rented properties had more health problems than owners. Smokers reported more health problems than non-smokers, and non-smokers had higher self-reported health scores. The study found that the EQ-5D questionnaire was effective in identifying health differences and could be used to monitor population health. However, the absence of a pain category in disability surveys may lead to underestimation of health issues. The study also highlighted the importance of measuring changes in health status, as this is crucial for evaluating healthcare outcomes. The findings suggest that calcium channel blockers may increase the risk of suicide. The study compared suicide rates in Swedish municipalities with the use of cardiovascular drugs and found a significant correlation with calcium channel blockers. In a cohort study, users of calcium channel blockers had a higher risk of suicide compared to non-users. The study concluded that calcium channel blockers may increase the risk of suicide.A national survey in the UK used the EuroQoL EQ-5D questionnaire to assess population health.
