摘要
We report test-retest reliabilities for a battery of tests (vision, hearing, vibration sense, proprioception, forced expiratory volume, blood pressure, grip strength, and sway) shown previously to predict functional age. Fifty women aged 60 to 86 were retested on the battery after 3 months. All tests except proprioception and blood pressure had reliabilities between .70 and .94. We conclude that the battery provides reliable measures of sensory, motor, and physiological variables which may be used as markers of biological aging in psychological research.
