Description:Objective
We developed a measure of allostatic load from electronic medical records (EMRs), which we named “Index of Cardiometabolic Health” (ICMH).
Methods
Data were collected from participants’ EMRs and a written survey in 2005. We computed allostatic load scores using the ICMH score and 2 previously described approaches.
Results
We included 1,865 employed adults who were 25–59 years old. Although the magnitude of the association was small, all methods of were predictive of SF-12 Physical component subscales (all p<0.001).
Conclusion
We found that the ICMH had similar relationships with health-related quality of life as previously reported in the literature.
