【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this study was to develop the Korean version of the Late-Life Function and Disability Instrument (K-LLFDI) and verify its reliability and validity. Fifty community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and above with independent mobility were surveyed. The reliability and validity of the instrument were verified. The overall cultural validity of 48 items was evaluated as very high (0.95), and only one item that was not appropriate was revised. The reliability of the remaining six domains was either high or very high. Internal consistency was high (α = 0.859) in the Disability component of the instrument and very high (α = 0.914) in the Function component. The factor loading for 42 out of 48 items was above 0.04. Overall, each component was well reflected by the sub-items. The K-LLFDI is expected to be instrumental in solving the rapidly growing problems of community-dwelling older adults.
