Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objective: Assess the quality of life and factors associated with lower scores of quality of life of medical students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using the WHOQOL-100 questionnaire with inclusion of 1-6 year medical students of the Federal University of São Paulo. No exclusion criterion was adopted. Comparisons between numerical variables were made by t test or ANOVA and categorical variables by qui-square. Factors as sociated with lower overall scores were analyzed by linear regression, considering significant p < 0.05. Results: We enrolled 607 (82.5%) students; mean age of 22.9 ± 2.9 years, 57.4% male, 99.0% single and 14.5% were living alone. Students presented an overall score of 72.1 ± 7.7 points. The perception of quality of life was greater in 1-2 years students compared to 3-4 year and 5-6 years. Sixth year had lower scores than 1 year in all areas, except in spirituality. Males had higher score, in physical, psychological, independence and quality of life, compared with females. Those who were living alone, compared to those who had company, had lower scores in physical domain. Students of the C/D socioeconomic status had a lower overall and environment domain score, compared to class A and B. Factors associated with lower overall scores were: 6 year (OR:-3.5), female sex (OR:-2.1) and class C/D (OR:-1.8). Conclusions: The overall score for quality of life was 72 points, with lower score in the physical domain. Factors associated to lower score of global quality of life were: 6 year, female and socioeconomic class C/D.
