美国人口的老龄化和对老年人福祉的关注加速了功能健康措施的出现。其中，日常生活基本活动、流动性和工具性日常生活活动的测量特别有用，现已广泛提供。其中许多是以类似的术语定义的，并已纳入现有的综合文书。虽然仍然需要研究的可靠性和有效性，特别是预测效度，有文件证据表明，这些措施的自我维持功能可以可靠地用于临床评价以及在项目评估和规划。目前的科学证据表明，通过这些措施进行评估有助于确定需要治疗或护理的问题。这种评估还产生关于预后的有用信息，对监测老年人的健康和疾病很重要。
The aging of the population of the United States and a concern for the well-being of older people have hastened the emergence of measures of functional health. Among these, measures of basic activities of daily living, mobility, and instrumental activities of daily living have been particularly useful and are now widely available. Many are defined in similar terms and are built into available comprehensive instruments. Although studies of reliability and validity continue to be needed, especially of predictive validity, there is documented evidence that these measures of self-maintaining function can be reliably used in clinical evaluations as well as in program evaluations and in planning. Current scientific evidence indicates that evaluation by these measures helps to identify problems that require treatment or care. Such evaluation also produces useful information about prognosis and is important in monitoring the health and illness of elderly people.
