| Abstract | Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the quality of life scores between younger(? 45 years old) and older women (? 46 years old) who underwent hysterectomy for benignindications.Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed at a tertiary hospital over a 12-week period. Younger and older women who underwent elective hysterectomy for benignindications were selected as study and control groups, respectively. Quality of life was measuredusing the Malay version of the World Health Organisation Quality of Life Assessment-BREFquestionnaire. The difference in quality of life scores from pre-surgery to 12 weeks posthysterectomy between the two age groups were measured using repeated-measures analysisof variance (ANOVA).Results: A total of 18 women were enrolled in the study group and 45 in the control group. Exceptfor the environment domain among control group, all other domains showed an improvementin quality of life scores. However, the grouptime interaction of the repeated-measures ANOVAshowed no difference in quality of life score changes of all domains between younger and olderwomen following hysterectomy.Conclusion: In this preliminary study, younger women demonstrated comparable quality of life scoresat 12 weeks after hysterectomy in comparison with older women.
