The utility of the Fluorosis Risk Index will be determined as it receives wider use. The selection of one of these indices for use in an epidemiologic study depends in large measure on the purpose of the study. Research needs to continue on the validity of these indices, particularly for ...

The SF-12v2 is a reliable and valid measure of current impairment widely used in population surveys.41 The SF-12v2 included Mental Health, Social Functioning, and Role Emotional subscales and the Mental Component Summary. Each SF-12v2 norm-based disability score has a mean of 50, SD of ...
To measure the correlation of COVID-19 with chilblains incidence across location-months, we used the Spearman rank correlation coefficient. Counts were used instead of incidence rates because COVID-19 and chilblains were paired by location-month such that the denominators were the same for the ...
In addition to clinical validity and utility, SACGT recom- mended that the analytic validity of the test (sensitivity and specificity to measure correct genotypes) be high, and also for the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of the test be appropriately assessed.15 In this study,...
of Depression (DASS21-D), Anxiety (DASS21-A), and Stress (DASS21-S) and a measure of mental well-being, Mental Health Continuum Short Form (MHC-SF). The CESDR-V was found to be unidimensional. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of CESDR-V was 0.92. All levels of measurement invariance ...
These, first introduced in 1983 by Stunkard, Sorensen et al (Stunkard et al., 1983) as an easy-to-administer measure of body size, depict nine different body silhouettes for men and women, ordered from very lean to very obese (Fig. 1). They have been used in numerous observational ...
The presence of antibodies only demonstrates infection, not disease status. Cholera has low rates of clinical disease, and the prevalence of antibodies to cholera are not a measure of the mortality and morbidity of a cholera epidemic. FIGURE 3-2 Issues in determining the occurrence of an ...
Additional strengths included coverage of the full spectrum of common mental disorders, including mood, anxiety, and personality disorders, as well as a well-validated measure of functioning. An additional strength that will be tapped in future research was the availability of genetic data from a ...
2,14,15 Using a different measure,16 the NCS produced current and lifetime prevalence of DSM-III-R17 MDD of 8.6% and 14.9%, respectively.18 In the NCS, comorbidity between MDD and other psychiatric disorders remained common.19 In an NCS replication (NCS-R) in 2001 through 2002, MDD and...
