The Frenchay Activities Index (FAI), a brief scale developed to measure lifestyle in stroke patients, was given to 119 community-dwelling people, aged 70 years or older, in order to obtain a baseline estimate of social, domestic, and leisure activity among older people. Factor analysis identified three main factors, similar in composition to those previously reported. A general linear models regression analysis of selected variables indicated that both fluid intelligence and memory test performance were significantly associated with level of activity. There was no significant association with age or crystallized intelligence in this sample. An apparently strong bias towards higher levels of activity among female respondents was diluted when marital status was included in the equation. This study suggests that the FAI is appropriate for measuring levels of activity in community-dwelling older people and that such activity is related to current cognitive abilities.
法国ay活动指数（FAI）是一种为测量中风患者生活方式而编制的简短量表，被用于119名70岁及以上的社区居民，以获得老年人社交、家庭和休闲活动的基线估计。因子分析确定了三个主要因素，其构成与先前报道的相似。对选定变量的一般线性模型回归分析表明，流体智力和记忆测试表现均与活动水平显著相关。在这个样本中，与年龄或晶体智力没有显著关联。当将婚姻状况纳入方程时，女性受访者中明显存在的对较高活动水平的强烈偏向被削弱了。这项研究表明，FAI适用于测量社区居住老年人的活动水平，并且这种活动与当前的认知能力有关。
