Information from these 8 domains is further aggregated into 2 health component summary scores: Physical Component Summary and Mental Component Summary.

    Items are answered on Likert scales of varying lengths. Scoring of each domain and both summary scores are norm based and presented in the form of T scores, with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10; higher scores indicate better levels of function and/or better health. Range cannot be specified in norm-based scores.

A 5-item subset of the Physical domain - the Physical Function composite - is also supported. Items in the Physical Function composite describe physical impacts related to general and specific physical activities. All items in the physical domain are rated on either a 5-point frequency ("never" to "always") scale or a 5-point truth ("not at all true" to "completely true") scale. Total score of IWQOL-Lite-CT composite ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores reflecting better quality of life. LS mean was determined using ANCOVA model with Week 0 (Visit 3) + IGT at Screening + Hyperlipidemia at Screening + NAFLD at Screening + Sex + Treatment (Type III sum of squares) as variables.

  24. Change From Baseline in Euro Quality of Life Five Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L)

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 72

    The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument used to measure self-reported health status of the participants. It comprises of 5 dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). There are 5 response levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, unable to perform/extreme problems). In addition to the health profile, a single health state index value can be derived based on a formula that attaches weights to each of the levels in each dimension. This index value ranges between

    ˂0 (where 0 is a health state equivalent to death; negative values are valued as worse than dead) to 1 (perfect health). LS mean was determined using ANCOVA model with Week 0 (Visit 3) + IGT at Screening + Hyperlipidemia at Screening + NAFLD at Screening + Sex + Treatment (Type III sum of squares) as variables.
