本报告讨论了概念和后勤问题，借给项目和工具，用于测量健康和功能状态的第一波的健康和退休研究（HRS）。健康状况的概念是多层面的，包括选定的主要症状、疾病和状况、总体健康自我评估、身体和认知功能状况、保健服务的利用情况和选定的情绪健康要素。此外，两个生理措施，获得了样本的基础上：握力和肺最大呼气流速。主要疾病和功能状态的患病率。相关分析表明，总体上具有较高的收敛效度、判别效度和结构效度。这些发现应该有助于那些打算分析HRS数据的重点和所采用的措施的效用。
This report discusses the conceptual and logistical issues that lend to the items and instruments used to measure health and function status in Wave I of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Health status was conceptualized as multidimensional, and included selected major symptoms, diseases and conditions, global self-assessment of health, physical and cognitive functional status, the utilization of health services and selected elements of emotional health. In addition, two physiologic measures were obtained on a sample basis: grip strength and pulmonary maximum expiratory flow rate. Prevalence rates for major conditions and functional states are presented. Correlational analyses generally demonstrated a high, ate of convergent, discriminant and construct validity. These findings should assist those intending to analyze HRS data in terms of the focus and utility of the measures employed.
