Objective: This study aims to present the translation and validation of the SF-6D in the Brazilian context, based on the model and the version developed in the United Kingdom in 2002. Methods: An observational and transversal study. We applied the tools for assessing quality of life: HAQ, SF-36, EQ-5D and SF-6D (version 2002). Descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients were used for data analysis. Results: We studied 200 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, with a mean age of 49.22 years, 11.16 years of disease and mean HAQ 1.02. Preferences measured by the SF-6D, the EQ-5D and the techniques of EVA, TTO and SG were correlated with each other, with Pearson coefficients from 0.19 to 0.66 (p <0.01). Conclusion: The SF-6D Brazil questionnaire represents a valid option for assessing preferences on economic analysis conducted in our country.Keywords: rheumatoid arthritis, quality of life, health economics
