Self-management may benefit well-being in advanced cancer, particularly through associations with fewer depressive symptoms and better quality of life.

Using the Ugandan tariff, average utility scores fell from 0.862 in controls to 0.636 in people with musculoskeletal disorders. The Ugandan tariff result represented an average statistically significant reduction of about 25%. Musculoskeletal disorders were consistently associated with significantly reduced quality of life across both tariff approaches. Physical health was the most severely impaired HRQoL domain, with a mean score of 51.62, while social health was th…
