<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Total hip arthroplasty reduces pain and restores physical function in patients with hip joint problems. This study examined lifestyle and health‐related quality of life before and after total hip arthroplasty in Japanese and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">C</jats:styled-content>hinese patients. Two hospitals in <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">C</jats:styled-content>hina recruited 120 patients and 120 <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">J</jats:styled-content>apanese patients matched by age and operative status were drawn from a prospective cohort database. <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">O</jats:styled-content>xford <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">H</jats:styled-content>ip <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">S</jats:styled-content>core, <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">E</jats:styled-content>uro<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">Q</jats:styled-content>ol, and characteristics of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">A</jats:styled-content>sian lifestyle and attitudes toward the operation were assessed. There were no differences between patients from the two countries in quality‐of‐life‐scale scores: postoperative patients had significantly better quality‐of‐life scores than preoperative patients in both countries. In <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">C</jats:styled-content>hina, patients who reported that living at home was inconvenient had significantly worse <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">O</jats:styled-content>xford <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">H</jats:styled-content>ip <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">S</jats:styled-content>cores than those who did not. Mean scores for anxiety items concerning possible dislocation and durability of the implant were significantly higher in Japanese than in <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">C</jats:styled-content>hinese subjects. Our findings suggest that providing information about housing conditions and lifestyles would result in improved quality of life and reduced anxiety in patients with implanted joints.</jats:p>
