Question text Now we would like to know how your health is today. Please answer ALL the questions. By ticking one box for each question below, please indicate which statements best describe your own health state today. To help people say how good or bad a health state is, we have drawn a scale (rather like a thermometer) on which the best state you can imagine is marked 100 and the worst state you can imagine is marked 0. We would like you to indicate on this scale how good or bad your own health state is today, in your opinion. Please do this by drawing a line from the box below to which ever point on the scale indicates how good or bad your health state is today.
