The efficient and reliable assessment of general community health requires the development of comprehensive and parsimonious measures of proven validity. The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) has been demonstrated to be a reliable indicator of common expressions of discomfort and stress in the general population. The present paper describes its linguistic adaptation into French, the derivation of item weights by Thurstone's method of paired comparisons and the comparison of item weights across various sociodemographic groups. There is more similarity than variation on the valuation of the state of health explored by the NHP between the French and the British population as little inter-cultural or inter-linguistic variations were found. The differences in judgement of severity elicited across sociodemographic groups in the French sample cast some doubts on the relevance of general weights for use in population surveys.
对普通社区健康进行有效且可靠的评估需要开发出经过验证有效的全面且简洁的衡量指标。诺丁汉健康量表（NHP）已被证明是普通人群中不适和压力常见表现的可靠指标。本文描述了其法语语言改编、通过瑟斯顿配对比较法得出项目权重以及不同社会人口学群体之间项目权重的比较。由于几乎未发现跨文化或跨语言差异，因此在法国人和英国人中，NHP所探索的健康状况评估方面相似性多于差异性。法国样本中不同社会人口学群体在严重程度判断上的差异对用于人口调查的通用权重的相关性提出了一些质疑。
