Methods: Face-to-face interviews with 155 homeless persons and a postal survey to a general population sample, mainly based on the same questionnaire, including questions on social determinants of health and HRQoL measured with the EQ-5D. Results: Chronic illness was three times more common among the homeless. HRQoL was worse among homeless persons than in the general population sample: the homeless reported more problems, especially more severe problems, in all the EQ-5D dimensions and had considerably lower EQ-5D<jats:sub>index<\/jats:sub> and EQ<jats:sub>VAS<\/jats:sub> score than the general population. Most problems were reported in the dimension anxiety\/depression. Among the homeless, longer duration and more severe degree of homelessness lowered HRQoL, but few determinants were statistically significantly related to HRQoL. Having mental disease significantly lowered HRQoL. Conclusions: This study was an attempt to include hard-to-reach groups in an assessment of population health. Homeless persons had considerably worse HRQoL than the general population and reported most problems in the dimension anxiety\/depression. Some diseases may contribute to causing homelessness; others may be seen as consequences. Homeless persons are a vulnerable group in society. Further interview studies are needed based on larger sample of homeless persons to explore health determinants such as sex, age, socioeconomic factors, duration and degree of homelessness, and health-related behaviours among the homeless persons. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494811435493","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,11]],"date-time":"2012-02-11T03:10:51Z","timestamp":1328929851000},"page":"115-125","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["Health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) among homeless persons compared to a general population sample in Stockholm County, 2006"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Sun","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Management Cetre, Department of Learning, Informatics, Management and Ethics, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Division of Social Medicine, Department of Public Health Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Irestig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Social Medicine, Department of Public Health Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Ersta Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Burstr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Social Medicine, Department of Public Health Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulla","family":"Beijer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Social Medicine, Department of Public Health Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristina","family":"Burstr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Management Cetre, Department of Learning, Informatics, Management and Ethics, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Division of Social Medicine, Department of Public Health Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1403494811435493","first-page":"229","volume":"164","author":"Hwang SW.","year":"2001","journal-title":"CMAJ"},{"key":"bibr2-1403494811435493","first-page":"33","volume":"12","author":"Fazel S","year":"2008","journal-title":"PloS Med"},{"key":"bibr3-1403494811435493","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494808099972"},{"key":"bibr4-1403494811435493","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/ckq033"},{"key":"bibr5-1403494811435493","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494809357102"},{"key":"bibr6-1403494811435493","first-page":"1","volume":"22","author":"Badiaga S","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur J Public Health"},{"key":"bibr7-1403494811435493","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2006.090209"},{"key":"bibr8-1403494811435493","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.104.510826"},{"key":"bibr9-1403494811435493","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/ckn038"},{"key":"bibr10-1403494811435493","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199806113382406"},{"key":"bibr11-1403494811435493","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2005.076190"},{"key":"bibr12-1403494811435493","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00127-006-0109-4"},{"key":"bibr13-1403494811435493","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.162.2.370"},{"key":"bibr14-1403494811435493","unstructured":"Pedersen PV, Christensen AI, Hesse U, Curtis T.
