- Abstract
Abstract: This study assessed agreement between self- and medical record report of medical conditions in an elderly population. Medical charts of 120 participants in a screening program were abstracted, and the questionnaire report of eight major conditions was compared with the medical record. There was substantial or moderate agreement between self-report and medical record report for each condition, although strength of agreement varied by condition. Self-report by elderly individuals compares favorably with medical record report of medical conditions.
