Abstract

This paper proposes an instrument comprising of 28 questions on seven dimensions to assess the quality of life of a subpopulation. Our hierarchical model which utilizes Thurstone's Law of comparative judgment and Mckenna's modification will give a score from 0 to 100 of an individual's overall health quality. Also reported are the results of an implementation of the instrument on an elderly Chinese subpopulation in Hong Kong.
