This chronic disease usually impairs health status and is an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality. The main objective of this study was to assess health-Related quality of life (HRQL) in a large sample of participants with and without COPD. Materials and Methods: The present study was based on the data obtained from the population-based BOLD study in Iran. The sampling frame in this study included the whole population of 31 provinces of Iran.  Participants were recruited using a stratified cluster sampling strategy with proportional allocations within strata. All the participants were requested to fill the Short Form 12 (SF-12) Health Survey Questionnaire, an abbreviated version of the SF-36. Results: A total of 1062 subjects, including 479 (45%) males and 583 (54.7%) females, were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the participants was 40±15.04 years. The overall COPD prevalence based on the post-bronchodilator spirometry functional criteria was 5.0%. The mean PCS- 12 and MCS- 12 for all the subjects were 66.61±22.72 and 60.79±23.52, respectively. The mean scores of PCS and MCS were significantly lower in patients with COPD than those without COPD (P<0.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated that COPD, female gender, and an age above 40 years influenced HRQL, especially the physical dimension, as shown by the SF-12 instrument.
