- W4231947178 abstract "Objective: To ascertain if two commonly used health status measures could be successfully self-administered to a group of older men recruited from the community to volunteer for a clinical research project and to correlate responses to the health status questionnaire to testosterone levels. Methods: In a cross-sectional survey 93 men, age 70 or greater, responded to a random mailing to a suburban community. Sixty-eight men were eligible and 47 participated in the study. Two health status questionnaires, the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) and the Short-form 36 (SF-36), were mailed to participants with instructions to complete the surveys on the same day and return them by mail. Blood samples were obtained for bioavailable and total testosterone measurements. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis was used to compare the responses to the SF-36 and SIP and testosterone levels. Results: Of the eligible volunteers 69% participated and were able to self-administer the SIP and the SF-36. Summation scores for the surveys were above those reported in similar age populations. Perfect scores were reported frequently in all subsets of the SIP; perfect scores were reported in 43-92% of men on various subscales. The responses to the SF-36 were also frequently perfect although perfect scores ranged from 2 to 82% on various subsets. There was moderate correlation between the results from the two surveys. There was no correlation between age, SIP or SF-36 and testosterone level. Conclusions: Healthy older men volunteering for clinical research were able to self-administer both the SIP and SF3-6. Responses to both surveys were skewed toward perfect scores; the SIP failed to reveal many men with functional deficits. Bioavailable testosterone levels did not predict perceived health in this group of men." @default.
