目的：本文报告了一项研究的结果，以评估电池的主观口腔健康状况指标，最初开发用于大规模调查的老年人的性能。其目的是评估他们的普遍性，效率，可靠性和有效性时，在18岁及以上的成年人的研究中使用，并比较他们的表现与年轻人和老年人。方法：通过邮件调查和自填式问卷的方式收集数据，随机抽取18岁及以上的人群。结果如下：结果表明，这些措施是敏感的所有年龄段的成年人的口腔健康问题，项目无反应是在可接受的范围内。重测和内部一致性的信度统计是好的，所有的假设设计，以评估同时和结构效度得到证实。结论：结果证实了早期的，但更有限的，评估，并建议这些指标是有用的描述性口腔健康调查的一般人群。
Objectives: This paper reports the results of a study to evaluate the performance of a battery of subjective Oral health status indicators originally developed for use in large scale surveys of older adults. The aim was to assess their generalizability, efficiency, reliability, and validity when used in a study of adults aged 18 years and over and to compare their performance with respect to younger and older adults. Methods: Data were collected by means of a mail survey and self-complete questionnaire of a random sample of the population aged 18 years and older. Results: The results suggested that the measures were sensitive to the oral health concerns of adults of all ages and that item nonresponse was within acceptable limits. Test-retest and internal consistency reliability statistics were good and all hypotheses designed to assess concurrent and construct validity were confirmed. Conclusions: The results confirm an earlier, but more limited, evaluation and suggest that these indicators are useful for descriptive oral health surveys of general populations.
