The difference in health state valuation among different demographic groups is important to health policy makers because it enable them to know whether different demographic groups place different emphasis on different disease and health condition. This would enables health institutions and policy makers to implement efficient health care policies ad plans. This study was conducted to compare the health state valuation of the Singapore population in seven demographic groups namely: age, gender, martial status, occupation, education, income, and race. A classification system called the Health Utility Index (HUI) Mark ill system is used to define health status. It describes a health state as consisting the eight attributes - seeing, hearing, talking, walking, use of hands and fingers, feelings, memory and thinking, and pain and discomfort. We have used the analog scale to measure their preferences.
