Abstract
Methods
Subjects were patients with CMP (n = 1,082) admitted to multidisciplinary rehabilitation and a general population sample (n = 506). Lisat-9 measures satisfaction with life as a whole and eight life domains. Physical, emotional and social functioning
and pain intensity were assessed using the SF-36. Ordinal logistic regression was used to analyse differences between patients
with CMP and the GP, and predictors of life satisfaction in patients with CMP.

with CMP and the GP, and predictors of life satisfaction in patients with CMP.
Results
Compared to the general population, patients with CMP reported lower satisfaction with ‘life as a whole’, and with six life
domains: self-care, leisure, vocational and financial situation, sex life and contacts with friends. In the CMP group, pain
was associated with satisfaction with self-care, vocational situation, partnership, family life and contacts with friends.
Marital status, age and mental health were associated with most satisfaction scores.
