Overview
Brief Summary
The aims of this study are to validate the reliability and validity of Elderly Health Questionnaire in assessing frailty risk of community-dwelling older adults.
Detailed Description
The aims of this study are to validate the test-retest reliability, internal consistency, criterion-related validity, predictive validity and construct validity of Elderly Health Questionnaire in assessing frailty risk of community-dwelling older adults. The investigators conduct a prospective study to require data of health states, function, lifestyle and quality of life in community-dwelling older adults ,and will recruit about 150 subjects in NTUH and communities in Taipei City. The investigators analyze the (change) scores of Elderly Health Questionnaire to test the internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Also, the investigators test the correlation between the scores of Elderly Health Questionnaire and the scores of the other measurements (i.e., HELP-T, WHOQOL-BREF, MoCA, SPPB, UPSA-B) to validate the concurrent validity, and the correlation between the scores of Elderly Health Questionnaire and the scores of CFS to validate predictive validity. The construct validity is validated by exploratory factor analysis.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Elderly Health Questionnaire
Time Frame: an average of 2-4 weeks between pretest and posttest (baseline, week 2-4)
It is a self-report questionnaire about frailty and health conditions. Each item is scored 0 or 1, yielding a total of 0-70. The scores range from 0 (best performance) to 70 (worst performance).
Secondary Outcomes
- Taiwanese version of the Health Enhancement Lifestyle Profile (HELP-T)(pretest (baseline))
- WHOQOL-BREF Taiwan version(pretest (baseline))
- Short physical performance battery (SPPB)(pretest (baseline))
- Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)(pretest (baseline))
- Brief University of California at San Diego Performance-Based Skills Assessment (UPSA-B)(pretest (baseline))
- Canadian Study of Health and Aging Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS)(pretest (baseline))
