The Japanese version of the EuroQol 5 dimension, 5 level version (EQ-5D-5L) can now be used to quantitatively evaluate the health-related quality of life (QoL) in Japan. Locomotive syndrome (LS) is a concept advocated in Japan to describe a condition requiring care for musculoskeletal disorders. However, no detailed study on the relationship between this index and LS in Japanese health checkup has been reported. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between the Japanese version of the EQ-5D-5L and LS. We enrolled 477 participants who were undergoing health checkups in Japan. All participants were administered the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Functional Scale for the diagnosis of LS and the Japanese version of the EQ-5D-5L. We performed statistical analysis to compare the non-LS and LS patients; moreover, the risk factors and cut-off values were calculated and verified. The Japanese version of the EQ-5D-5L index was significantly lower in patients with LS than in non-LS patients and was significantly related to LS in logistic regression analysis. In subgroup analysis targeting the five dimensions of the EQ-5D-5L, it was seen that mobility, pain/discomfort, and self-care were significantly involved in LS. The cut-off value of the EQ-5D-5L index for LS was 0.875. The Japanese version of the EQ-5D-5L index was significantly related to LS in Japan. This index will be a useful tool that can easily measure health-related quality of life in middle-aged and elderly Japanese people. Future studies should investigate the relationship of not only LS but also various diseases with the Japanese version of the EuroQol 5 dimension, 5 level version.
