目的：确定生活方式因素对虚弱的影响是否可以通过询问单一的自我报告问题来充分解决。设计：横断面研究。设定：以荷兰公民为样本，完成基于网络的问卷“Seniorenbarometer”。参与者：年龄在50岁及以上的610人。测量方法：评估了七个生活方式因素：吸烟、饮酒、摄入蔬菜、摄入水果、吃早餐、锻炼和刷牙。关于生活方式的一个自我报告问题是：“总的来说，你认为你的生活方式有多健康？”虚弱程度用蒂尔堡虚弱指数来衡量。结果：年龄与健康的生活方式（少吸烟、多吃蔬菜、水果和吃早餐）呈正相关。在控制了单一的自我报告问题后，生活方式因素并没有改善对总体、生理、心理和社会脆弱性的预测。结论：我们的研究表明，一个普遍的自我报告的生活方式问题，而不是一个特定的生活方式因素列表，足以预测虚弱。2016爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
Objective: To determine whether the effects of lifestyle factors on frailty can be adequately addressed by asking a single self-report question.Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: A sample of Dutch citizens completed the web-based questionnaire "Seniorenbarometer".Participants: 610 persons aged 50 years and older.Measurements: Seven lifestyle factors were assessed: smoking, use of alcohol, intake of vegetables, intake of fruit, having breakfast, exercise, and teeth brushing. The single self-report question of lifestyle was: "Overall, how healthy would you say your lifestyle is?" Frailty was measured by the Tilburg Frailty Indicator.Results: Age was positively associated with a healthy lifestyle (less smoking, more intake of vegetables, fruit and eating breakfast). The lifestyle factors did not improve the prediction of total, physical, psychological, and social frailty, after controlling for the single self-report question.Conclusion: Our study suggests that one general self-report lifestyle question, rather than a list of specific lifestyle factors, suffices for predicting frailty.
