Limitations to usual activities due to health problems impact quality of life and well-being. The Global Activity Limitation Indicator (GALI) was developed to assess the trends in limitations to usual activities. The GALI question is applied in a single or routed, multi-question version. GEDA 2014/2015-EHIS for the first time applied a three-question version. Three quarters of respondents reported that they did not experience any limitations to their usual activities. 18.7% of women and 17.0% of men said they had experienced moderate limitations. 6.4% of women and 6.8% of men reported severe limitations. The share of respondents experiencing limitations increases with age and shows a clear education gradient. Changes in methodology, however, mean that current results based on the GALI question cannot be compared to the results from earlier survey waves of the same study.
由于健康问题导致的日常活动受限会影响生活质量和幸福感。全球活动受限指标(GALI)旨在评估日常活动受限的趋势。GALI问题有单问题或多问题的常规版本。2014/2015年德国健康访谈与体检调查(GEDA)首次采用了三问题版本。四分之三的受访者表示他们的日常活动没有受到任何限制。18.7%的女性和17.0%的男性表示他们经历过中度受限。6.4%的女性和6.8%的男性报告有严重受限。经历受限的受访者比例随年龄增长而增加,并呈现出明显的教育梯度差异。然而,方法上的变化意味着基于GALI问题的当前结果无法与同一研究早期调查波次的结果进行比较。
