All HRQOL scores are displayed as mean scores±SD. t Values and p values are reported for gender-specific differences between our cohort and the general population. The rightmost column gives the differences between Δ (difference between the general population and the UCORBIO cohort) of women and men, which is more negative in women in all nine domains of the RAND-36 questionnaire.
