Two measures of social function designed for community studies of normal aging and mild senile dementia were evaluated in 195 older adults who underwent neurological, cognitive, and affective assessment. An examining and a reviewing neurologist and a neurologically trained nurse independently rated each on a Scale of Functional Capacity. Interrater reliability was high (examining vs. reviewing neurologist, r = .97; examining neurologist vs. nurse, tau b = .802; p less than .001 for both comparisons). Estimates correlated well with an established measure of social function and with results of cognitive tests. Alternate informants evaluated participants on the Functional Activities Questionnaire and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale. The Functional Activities Questionnaire was superior to the Instrumental Activities of Daily scores. Used alone as a diagnostic tool, the Functional Activities Questionnaire was more sensitive than distinguishing between normal and demented individuals.
为正常衰老和轻度老年痴呆症的社区研究设计的两项社会功能测量方法，在195名接受神经、认知和情感评估的老年人中进行了评估。一名检查神经科医生、一名复查神经科医生和一名经过神经学培训的护士，根据功能能力量表对每位受试者进行独立评分。评分者间信度很高（检查神经科医生与复查神经科医生，r = 0.97；检查神经科医生与护士，tau b = 0.802；两种比较的p均小于0.001）。这些评估与已有的社会功能测量方法以及认知测试结果相关性良好。由不同的信息提供者根据功能活动问卷和日常生活能力量表对参与者进行评估。功能活动问卷优于日常生活能力量表得分。单独用作诊断工具时，功能活动问卷在区分正常人和痴呆患者方面比其他方法更敏感。
