Development and Validation of Geriatric Assessment Tools: A Preliminary Report from Indian Population

並列摘要


With the explosion in the number of older adults in India, it becomes more and more important to study alterations in their function. Although many assessment tools are available, most of them lack both sensitivity and reliability in Indian settings. ADL, IADL and modified POMA were developed and administered on the older adults living in community. Validity of the three assessment tools was suggested by their low correlation with age (r=-0.255, -0.485 and -0.436) and moderate to high correlation with frequency of falls (r=-0.496, -0.628 and -0.496) in Indian Geriatric population. Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) and Modified performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (Modified POMA) tools were developed which appears to have acceptable validity with reference to Indian geriatric population.
