Abstract: Objective To design a disease-targeted life-of-quality questionnaire for Chinese patients with primary osteoporosis.
Methods From October 2013 to January 2014, 144 patients out- and inpatients were selected for assessment of their quality of
life using the Chinese Osteoporosis-targeted Quality-of-Life short questionnaire (COQOL, 16 items) designed and reformed
based on QUALEFFO-41. Statistics analysis was conducted to assess the validity of the COQOL. Results Statistics analysis
showed good test-retest reliability, internal consistency, content validity, construct validity and criterion validity of COQOL.
Conclusion COQOL is reliable and valid for evaluating participants with low bone mass in clinical practice.
