Short Form-36 Health Survey

The Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) is a questionnaire used to measure a person’s overall health and well-being. It asks about aspects like physical functioning, pain levels, emotional health, energy, and social activity. By answering these questions, individuals provide a snapshot of their health status, which healthcare providers can use to evaluate quality of life, track health changes over time, or compare different groups. It is a widely used, reliable tool that helps understand how health impacts daily life from the patient’s perspective.
