To assess the validity and reliability of the Frenchay Activities Index (FAI) and to establish age and sex norms in people at or over the age of 16 years.
Postal questionnaire survey to 1280 people randomly selected from 8 Health Authority patient registers in England.
FAI scores, subscale scores by age and sex, health status, perceived level of activity, and subjects' opinions on how well the FAI reflected their activities. Test-retest reliability was measured in 1 Health Authority.
The response rate was 49%. Men scored lower than women overall and on the domestic activities subscale. Respondents between the ages of 16 and 24 years and those over 85 years had the lowest FAI scores. FAI scores were related to self-reported health status, self-reported levels of activity, and presence of long-standing illness/disability. The FAI has high test-retest reliability. Qualitative data suggested that items such as sport, physical exercise, and caring for children should be included to make the FAI suitable for a wider age range.
The FAI has good construct validity, particularly in middle-aged and elderly people, and is reliable. For the FAI to be valid in nonstroke populations, items specific to younger people must be incorporated into it. We have established preliminary age and sex norms that should be interpreted with caution, given the low response rate.
评估法国ay活动指数（FAI）的有效性和可靠性，并建立16岁及以上人群的年龄和性别标准。
对从英格兰8个卫生局患者登记册中随机抽取的1280人进行邮寄问卷调查。
FAI得分、按年龄和性别划分的子量表得分、健康状况、自我感知的活动水平以及受试者对FAI反映其活动程度的看法。在1个卫生局测量了重测信度。
回复率为49%。总体而言，男性得分低于女性，在家庭活动子量表上也是如此。16至24岁的受访者以及85岁以上的受访者FAI得分最低。FAI得分与自我报告的健康状况、自我报告的活动水平以及长期疾病/残疾的存在有关。FAI具有较高的重测信度。定性数据表明，应纳入体育、体育锻炼和照顾儿童等项目，以使FAI适用于更广泛的年龄范围。
FAI具有良好的结构效度，特别是在中年和老年人中，并且是可靠的。为使FAI在非中风人群中有效，必须纳入针对年轻人的特定项目。鉴于回复率较低，我们已经建立了初步的年龄和性别标准，应谨慎解读。
