Abstract Background Numerous studies have identified a reduced health related quality of life HRQL in patients that have either diabetes or cancer. We assessed the HRQL burden in patients with these comorbid conditions postulating that they would have even greater HRQL deficits. Methods Data from the Public Use File of the Canadian Community Health Survey PUF CCHS Cycle September 2000-November 2001 were used for this analysis. The total sample size of the CCHS PUF is 1 30 880 individuals. We used the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 HUI3 to assess HRQL in patients with 1 comorbid diabetes and cancer 2 diabetes alone 3 cancer alone and 4 no diabetes or cancer. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the mean overall HUI3 score controlling for age sex marital status body mass index BMI physical activity level smoking
