Abstract
Health status and quality of life represent different outcomes in patients with intermittent claudication. In addition to functional restrictions as measured in health status, quality of life also permits a personal evaluation of these restrictions. Objective functioning and subjective appraisal of functioning are complementary and not identical. Combining these measures should direct treatment in a way that meets patients' needs.
