SF-36是在美国开发的，提供了8个量表的健康状况和代表身体和心理健康的两个组成部分的汇总评分。公布的标准和评分程序是基于美国一般人群的数据。澳大利亚妇女健康纵向研究（澳大利亚妇女健康）于1996年对18-22岁、45-49岁和70-74岁三个年龄组的大约42 000名澳大利亚妇女进行了调查，并为SF-36健康概况提供了按年龄和性别划分的标准。从这些数据，因素权重和因素得分系数计算这些年龄和性别的特定人群的澳大利亚妇女。因此，现在可以使用澳大利亚相关人口标准化的公式计算身心健康的组成部分总分。这将有助于在澳大利亚的背景下解释身心健康部分的总分，并将允许在澳大利亚妇女健康纵向研究中对澳大利亚妇女的年轻、中年和老年群体进行更有意义的比较。(C)1998 Lippincott-Raven出版社。
The SF-36 was developed in the USA to provide an eight-scale health profile and two component summary scores representing physical and mental health. The published norms and scoring procedures are based on data from the US general population. The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (Women's Health Australia) undertook a survey in 1996 of approximately 42,000 Australian women in three age groups of 18-22, 45-49 and 70-74 years and provided age-and gender-specific norms for the SF-36 health profile. From these data, factor weights and factor score coefficients were calculated for these age-and gender-specific populations of Australian women. Thus, component summary scores for physical and mental health can now be calculated using a formula standardized to the relevant Australian population. This will facilitate the interpretation of the physical and mental health component summary scores in the Australian context and will allow more meaningful comparisons within the young, middle-aged and older cohorts of Australian women in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health.
