The objective was to describe the association of respiratory symptoms with HRQoL in subjects with and without asthma or COPD and to investigate the role of atopy bronchial hyperresponsiveness BHR and lung function in HRQoL. Methods The European Community Respiratory Health Survey ECRHS I and II provided data on HRQoL lung function respiratory symptoms asthma atopy and BHR from 6009 subjects. Generic HRQoL was assessed through the physical component summary PCS score and the mental component summary MCS score of the SF-36. Factor analyses and linear regressions adjusted for age gender smoking occupation BMI comorbidity and study centre were conducted. Results Having breathlessness at rest in ECRHS II was associated with mean score 95 CI impairment in PCS of . Impairment in MCS score in subjects waking up with chest tightness was . The magnitude of HRQoL impairment associated with respiratory symptoms was similar for subjects with and without asthma COPD. Adjustments for atopy BHR and lung function did not explain the association of respiratory symptoms and HRQoL in subjects without asthma and or COPD. Conclusion Subjects with respiratory symptoms had poorer HRQoL including subjects without a diagnosis of asthma or COPD. These findings suggest that respiratory symptoms in the absence of a medical
