Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the composite physical function scale in Chinese community-dwelling older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To translate, cross-culturally adapt and validate the Composite Physical Function (CPF) scale in Chinese community-dwelling older adults.

Methods

The Chinese version of the CPF (C-CPF) was constructed by following Brislin's guidelines. A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the measurement properties of the C-CPF in 477 eligible older adults. Factor analysis, hypotheses testing, internal consistency and test-retest were performed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the C-CPF.

Results

The C-CPF was consistent with the original version, which consisted of a single dimension with 12 items. It had a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.901, fold-half reliability of 0.831 and test-retest reliability of 0.994. Structural validity was determined throu
