目的：本研究比较了老年口腔健康评估指数(GOHAI)在两个老年人样本中的分布和心理测量学特征，并检验了GOHAI测量的口腔疾病自我感知影响如何随样本的社会人口学和健康特征而变化。方法：结果基于两个老年男性样本的调查数据：使用社区医生的医疗保险样本(n=799；平均年龄=74)和使用VA门诊保健的患者(n=542；平均年龄=72)。结果：结果显示样本之间的平均GOHAI得分存在显著差异，其中VA样本的得分较差。在两个样本中，该工具的心理测量学特性有许多相似之处：较高的内部一致性、可靠性以及类似的项目间和项目-量表相关性。因子分析显示两个样本之间的结构有所不同，但解释的差异程度相似；回归分析表明，收入和自评口腔健康是两个样本中GOHAI得分的显著预测因子。结论：两个样本中的GOHAI都具有令人满意的心理测量学特性，并且对两个样本之间的社会人口学差异很敏感。结果表明，在各种样本中，GOHAI继续用作口腔状况对功能和幸福感影响的指标。
Objectives: This study compares the distributional and psychometric properties of the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) in two samples of older adults, and examines how the self‐perceived impact of oral disease, as measured by the GOHAI, varies in accordance with sample sociodemographic and health characteristics.Methods: Results are based on survey data from two samples of older men: a Medicare sample of patients using community physicians (n=799; mean age=74) and users of VA ambulatory health care (n=542; mean age=72).Results: The findings indicated significant differences between samples in mean GOHAI scores, with the VA sample exhibiting worse scores. A number of similarities in psychometric properties of the instrument across the two samples were found: high internal consistency reliability and similar inter‐item and item‐scale correlations. Factor analyses revealed somewhat different structures between the two samples, but explained similar amounts of variance; regression analyses indicated that income and self‐rated oral health were significant predictors of GOHAI scores in both samples.Conclusions: The GOHAI exhibits satisfactory psychometric properties in both samples and is sensitive to sociodemographic differences among and between two samples of older men. Results suggest continued use of the GOHAI as an indicator of the impact of oral conditions on functioning and well‐being in a variety of samples.
