Evidence of the validity of instruments for assessing health-related quality of life (QOL) are fundamental to grant interpretations and direct actions at the level of promotion and health care.
To verify the agreement and reproducibility of the QOL assessment instruments WHOQOL-Bref and WHOQOL-Old, in paper (PV) and electronic version (EV), called WHOQOL-Bref web and WHOQOL-Old web, respectively.
A cross-sectional study was performed with 98 elderly people, separated into two groups, from Tapejara-RS, Brazil, during 2016 and 2017. The WHOQOL-bref and WHOQOL-old instruments applied in the PV and EV were answered individually.
The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) observed in the accordance and reproducibility of the overall WHOQOL-Bref and WHOQOL-Old scores were higher than 0.90, respectively. The ICC was higher than 0.80 for most of the WHOQOL-Bref and WHOQOL domains, except for the domains Physical (WHOQOL-Bref: ICC = 0.67) and Autonomy (WHOQOL-Old: ICC = 0.78).
The web versions of the WHOQOL-bref and WHOQOL-old questionnaires presented good evidence of accordance and reproducibility.
评估健康相关生活质量（QOL）的工具的有效性证据对于在促进和医疗保健层面上进行解释和直接行动至关重要。
验证 WHOQOL-Bref 和 WHOQOL-Old 量表在纸质版（PV）和电子版（EV），分别称为 WHOQOL-Bref web 和 WHOQOL-Old web 中的评估一致性和可重复性。
这是一项横断面研究，于 2016 年至 2017 年期间在巴西塔佩雅拉的 98 名老年人中进行，将其分为两组。单独使用 PV 和 EV 中的 WHOQOL-bref 和 WHOQOL-old 量表进行回答。
在 WHOQOL-Bref 和 WHOQOL-Old 总分的一致性和可重复性方面，观察到的组内相关系数（ICC）均高于 0.90。对于 WHOQOL-Bref 和 WHOQOL-Old 的大多数领域，除了物理领域（WHOQOL-Bref：ICC=0.67）和自主领域（WHOQOL-Old：ICC=0.78）之外，ICC 均高于 0.80。
WHOQOL-bref 和 WHOQOL-old 问卷的网络版本具有良好的一致性和可重复性证据。
