seattle angina questionnaire
-score of 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better function
(eg, less physical limitation, less angina, and better quality of life).
health risk assessment: Disease-specific measure of physical,
social, and emotional well-being designed as a measure of
outcome in arthritis.
-scales: mobility, physical activity (walking, bending, lifting),
dexterity, household activity (managing money and medications,
housekeeping), social activities, activities of daily living, pain,

scales 60.
--> Zero represents good health status, 10 and 60 represent poor
health status.
