目的：评价单项工具，全球活动限制指标(GALI)，以衡量长期存在的健康相关的活动限制，与几个健康指标：综合发病率指标，测量心理健康(SCL-90R，GHQ-12)，身体共发病和身体限制(ADLS，SF-36)。方法：使用2001年比利时国家健康访谈调查的横断面数据(n=9168)，将GALI与其他健康指标进行比较，不同性别，年龄，结果：对GALI的反应与对其他身体限制指标(日常生活能力限制(按严重程度或限制次数)、SF-36身体领域的限制)、慢性身体共病指标和心理健康指标的反应相似。在没有身体限制或身体或精神状况的受试者中，报告没有长期活动限制的GALI的概率很高。这种概率随着限制的严重程度或数量、身体或精神状况的数量增加而减少。结论：GALI相对于其他健康指标表现适当，似乎反映了与精神和身体状况有关的长期活动限制。
Objective: To evaluate a single item instrument, the Global Activity Limitation Indicator (GALI), to measure long-standing health related activity limitations, against several health indicators: a composite morbidity indicator, instruments measuring mental health (SCL-90R, GHQ-12), physical co-morbidity and physical limitations (ADLs, SF-36).Methods: Cross-sectional data (n = 9168) of the 2001-National Health Interview Survey in Belgium was used to compare the GALI with other health indicators across gender, age, educational attainment and language.Results: Responses to the GALI were similar to responses to other indicators of physical limitations (Limitations in Activities of Daily Living (by severity or by number of limitations), the SF-36 physical domain), to an indicator of chronic physical comorbidity and to indicators of mental health. The probability of reporting absence of long-standing activity limitation with the GALI was high in subjects without physical limitations or physical or mental conditions. This probability decreased as the severity or number of limitations, the number of physical or mental conditions increased.Conclusions: The GALI performs appropriately against other health indicators and appears to reflect long-standing activity limitation associated with both mental and physical conditions.
