The use of the 30-item GHQ as a screening instrument in a community population aged 70 years and older was examined. An acceptable sensitivity (70%) and specificity (84%) was obtained. As in the younger age groups, the GHQ was not good at detecting chronic, generalised anxiety disorders. The GHQ is best used in combination with the MMSE to screen out cases of dementia in an elderly population.
对30项一般健康问卷（GHQ）在70岁及以上社区人群中作为筛查工具的使用情况进行了研究。获得了可接受的灵敏度（70%）和特异度（84%）。与较年轻年龄组一样，GHQ在检测慢性广泛性焦虑症方面效果不佳。GHQ最好与简易精神状态检查表（MMSE）联合使用，以筛查老年人群中的痴呆病例。
