Restricted activity days is the measure by which the 1990 health objectives for prevention of functional disability in older adults will be evaluated. Yet its significance in older populations is poorly understood. We evaluated its use as an outcome measure for a randomized trial designed to impact upon physical function in elderly HMO enrollees. As predicted, restricted activity days was more correlated with physical disability measures than with other health status measures. Distributional properties and rates of missing data were shortcomings.
受限活动天数是用于评估1990年预防老年人功能残疾健康目标的指标。然而,其在老年人群中的意义却鲜为人知。我们评估了其作为一项结局指标在一项旨在影响老年健康维护组织(HMO)参保者身体功能的随机试验中的应用。正如预期的那样,受限活动天数与身体残疾指标的相关性比与其他健康状况指标的相关性更强。数据的分布特性和缺失率是其不足之处。
