Figure 3 Bar graph summarizing mean Medical Outcomes Study 36-item short-form health survey sores by category for GeoForm patients (white bars) and age-matched US population norms (black bars). The 8 dimensions of health included were physical functioning (PF), role limitations due to physical problems (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health perception (GH), vitality (VT), social function (SF), role limitations due to emotional problems (RE), and mental health (MH). The composite scales for overall physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) health are also shown. No significant difference in the mean scores was observed for any of these categories.
