Abstract

BACKGROUND: Existing research has identified health‑related quality of life (HRQoL) is influenced by a multitude of factors among children and adolescents. However, there has been relatively limited exploration of the multidimensional predictive factors (individual characteristics, health risk behaviors, and negative life events) that contribute to HRQoL. This study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict the HRQoL in children and adolescents.
