Predictive validity of the modified Kihon Checklist for the incidence of functional disability among older people: A 3-year cohort study from the JAGES.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The original Kihon Checklist, validated to predict the incidence of functional disability, has been modified to capture both functional ability (can/cannot) and performing state (do/do not). However, the predictive validity of the modified Kihon Checklist remains unverified. Therefore, this study intends to verify the predictive validity of the modified Kihon Checklist and to clarify whether predictive discrimination differs between the classification method of functional ability and performing state.

Methods

The participants comprised 67 398 older people who responded to the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (2016). They were followed for 3.1 years on average. Cox's proportional hazards model with incidence of functional disability as the endpoint was used to calcul
