Discusses how measurement of health related quality of life (HQoL) has been developed as a way of describing health states in terms of an individual's perception of his/her position in life. Psychiatric morbidity, physical disability and quality of life were assessed by standardised questionnaire in older people living at home in an inner-city area. Argues that there is a clear need to develop measures of HQoL appropriate for older people. The IHQL in its presents version does not however show concurrent validity in older people in the community, suggesting that IHQL data should not be used in resource allocation decisions where older people are involved.
