Methods: The authors interviewed 108 veterans using the visual analogue scale (VAS), standard gamble (SG), time tradeoff (TTO), and willingness to pay (WTP) tomeasure health values for 1) current health and 2) 3 hypothetical health states portrayed in written scenarios describing cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM), a degenerative spine condition. They used bivariate rank order and multivariate regression analyses to assess the relationship between CSM values, participants\u2019 characteristics, and participants\u2019 current health values. Results: Participants were predominantly male (89.8%) and Caucasian (75.9%), with a median age of 58.3 years and a median annual income of $15,000. Median values for current health were VAS, 0.75; SG, 0.80; TTO, 0.80; and WTP, $25,000. In the multivariate analysis, higher CSM values were associated with better current health as measured with the SG, TTO, and WTP (for all,P &lt; 0.001); there was no association with VAS values (P = 0.157). Conclusions: Health values for CSM are positively associated with the current health of the study population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0272989x04267692","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,7,8]],"date-time":"2004-07-08T07:43:54Z","timestamp":1089272634000},"page":"367-378","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Positive Association between Current Health and Health Values for Hypothetical Disease States"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"suffix":"Jr.","given":"Joseph T.","family":"King","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgical Service\/112, VA Connecticut Healthcare System, 950 Campbell Avenue, West Haven, CT 06516;
