The McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire is a 17-item multidimensional tool designed to measure physical well-being, physical symptoms, psychological symptoms, existential well-being and support, as well as overall quality of life.

The ICECAP-A is a measure of capability for the general adult 18+ population for use in economic evaluation. Unlike most profile measures used in economic evaluations, the ICECAP-A focuses on wellbeing defined in a broader sense, rather than health.

ICECAP-O is a measure of capability in older people for use in economic evaluation. Unlike most profile measures used in economic evaluations, the ICECAP-O focuses on wellbeing defined a broader sense, rather than just health.

The Life Satisfaction Index (LSI) covers general feelings of well–being among older people to identify “successful” aging. The concept of life satisfaction is closely related to morale, adjustment and psychological well-being. The LSI intends to measure 5 components of life satisfaction which include zest (as opposed to apathy), resolution and fortitude, congruence between desired and achieved goals, positive self-concept and mood tone.

The Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index (QLI) was developed to measure quality of life in terms of satisfaction with life. The QLI is unique in the way that importance ratings are used to weight satisfaction responses, such that scores reflect satisfaction with the aspects of life that are valued by the individual. Measuring quality of life in this way produces a very individualized, value-based assessment of quality of life from the perspective of the individual assessed.
