Result: Sub-domain of EQ-5D, women with depression were limited mobility (p=.004), usual activities (p=.028), pain/discomfort (p=.015), anxiety/depression (p<.05) than women without depression( p=001). In the subgroup analysis by age and women with depression, the mobility, self-care, and usual activities were limited with age from 40s to 60s years of age compared to women without depression.
