Newman's conceptual framework and the measurement of older adult's health
Abstract:
A study was undertaken to test propositions derived from Newman's conceptualization of health in a sample of older women and to develop instruments to measure older adults' health by establishing criterion-related validity of movement and time with self-assessment of health. Results supported the postulated relationship between movement and time, and health as a basic pattern unique to the individual. The lack of criterion-related validity with self-assessment of health demonstrates the need for an alternate criterion, such as functional health, and modifications of Newman's conceptualization and measurement of health.
