Abstract:
In a population study, a random sample of 398 persons from 20 to 72 years answered the six item version of the Dartmouth COOP functional health assessment charts/WONCA. The results according to age and sex are presented. The charts have been developed primarily for use in clinical settings. In a cross-sectional study in a normal population, the instrument seems feasible in use and it differentiates between the sexes and age groups.
