一些研究表明，对老龄化的看法对老年人的认知功能和身心健康有影响。这些关系尚未在法国进行研究，因为缺乏有效的工具。本研究的主要目的是验证法语版本的老龄化认知问卷（APQ）在法国65岁及以上的一般人群。次要目的是研究55至64岁参与者中该工具尺寸的稳定性。这项研究是向位于普瓦图-沙伦特（法国西部）一个小镇的老龄化观测站（OPREVI）的队列提出的。向55岁及以上的居民邮寄了一份匿名调查表，其中包括APQ。最初的英语APQ描述了65岁及以上的成年人。它有32个项目，分布在7个维度上：时间轴慢性和周期性，积极和消极的后果，积极和消极的控制和情绪表征。656名成年人参加了这项调查（286名男性，370名女性）。在65岁及以上的被试（n = 394）中，验证性因素分析估计的七因素结构与原始结果一致。通过Cronbach α评价的内部一致性在阴性结果的0.83和阴性对照的0.52之间。有几个方面是密切相关的。在55至64岁的参与者（n = 262）中，相同的析因模型产生了可接受的拟合。多组验证性因素分析得出两个年龄组之间的近似因变量不变性，比较拟合指数为零。这项在65岁及以上的法国人中进行的研究进一步证明了APQ法语版的多维结构，该结构叠加到原始爱尔兰版本的维度上。同样的因素结构也适用于较年轻的群体（55-64岁）。OPREVI研究正在进行中，将收集关于参与者的身体、物质和社会特征的数据。因此，将有可能分析与老龄化观念有关的变量。根据这份问卷所收集的个人对衰老的看法，以及他或她的临床概况，可以提供量身定制的多方面援助，旨在提供激励措施，以预见或适应困难。
Several studies have shown the influence of the perceptions of aging on the cognitive functioning and the mental and physical health of older people. These relationships have not to date been studied in France where validated instruments are lacking. The primary objective of this study was to validate a French-language version of the Aging Perceptions Questionnaire (APQ) in the French general population aged 65 and over. The secondary objective was to study the stability of the dimensions of this instrument among participants aged 55 to 64. The study was proposed to the cohort of the Observatoire Régional du Vieillissement (OPREVI) (observatory of aging), located in a small town in Poitou-Charentes (western France). An anonymous questionnaire including the APQ was sent by mail to inhabitants aged 55 and over. The original English language APQ was described with adults aged 65 and older. It has 32 items distributed on 7 dimensions: timeline chronic and cyclical, positive and negative consequences, positive and negative control and emotional representations. 656 adults participated in this survey (286 men, 370 women). Among those aged 65 and over (n = 394), the seven-factor structure estimated by confirmatory factor analysis was coherent with original findings. Internal consistency as evaluated by Cronbach alpha, was between 0.83 for consequences negative and 0.52 for control negative. Several dimensions were strongly correlated. Among participants aged 55 to 64 (n = 262), the same factorial model yielded an acceptable fit. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis concluded to approximate factorial invariance between the two age groups with a null delta in comparative fit index. This study among French people aged 65 and over, added further evidence of the multidimensional structure of the French version of the APQ which is superimposed to the dimensions of the original Irish version. The same factorial structure applies acceptably to the younger group (aged 55–64). The OPREVI study is ongoing, and will collect data on the physical, material and social characteristics of participants. It will therefore be possible to analyse the variables associated with the perceptions of aging. On the basis of an individual's perceptions of aging as captured by this questionnaire, and his or her clinical profile, tailored multi-dimensional assistance could be made available aiming to provide incentives to anticipate or to adapt to difficulties.
