Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the FES-I scale in community-dwelling older Mexican adults. Participants were 222 older adults, with a mean age of 70 years; 75% were women who completed a sociodemographic data sheet, a Spanish version of the FES-I scale, intended to explore measures of depression, quality of life, and instrumental activities of daily living. Discriminant validity was demonstrated for all items on the FES-I scale and when groups of older adults were compared according to age. Evidence of internal consistency was found in all the items of the FES-I scale (α = .91) and convergent and divergent validity of the FES-I scale with measures of depression and quality of life, except instrumental activities of daily living. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis shows that the FES-I scale partially retains its two-factor measurement properties since five items were removed from the model to fit the data. The FES-I scale is a valid and reliable measure for clinical evaluations of fear of falls in older Mexican adults in the community.

国际瀑布疗效量表（FES-I）在墨西哥老年人社区居住中的适应性和验证。

本研究的目的是评估FES-I量表在居住在社区的墨西哥老年人中的可靠性和有效性。参与者为222名老年人，平均年龄为70岁年；75%的女性完成了一份社会人口统计数据表，即西班牙版的FES-I量表，旨在探索抑郁症、生活质量和日常生活工具性活动的衡量标准。FES-I量表上的所有项目以及根据年龄对老年人组进行比较时，都证明了判别有效性。在FES-I量表的所有项目中都发现了内部一致性的证据（α = .91），以及FES-I量表与抑郁症和生活质量（日常生活工具性活动除外）的趋同和发散有效性。验证性因素分析表明，由于从模型中删除了五个项目来拟合数据，FES-I量表部分保留了其双因素测量特性。FES-I量表是对社区中墨西哥老年人跌倒恐惧的临床评估的有效和可靠的指标。

期刊介绍： Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine (GGM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed open access journal where scholars from a variety of disciplines present their work focusing on the psychological, behavioral, social, and biological aspects of aging, and public health services and research related to aging. The journal addresses a wide variety of topics related to health services research in gerontology and geriatrics. GGM seeks to be one of the world’s premier Open Access outlets for gerontological academic research. As such, GGM does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers will be subjected to rigorous peer review but will be selected solely on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, GGM facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers.
