Key result
The Korean version of the Suboptimal Health Status Questionnaire-25 demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.953) and test-retest reliability (ICC 0.95), proving to be a valid tool.
Why the study?
Although the Suboptimal Health Status Questionnaire-25 (SHSQ-25) is validated across major populations as a reliable tool to assess suboptimal health status, a Korean version had not yet been developed and validated.
Population
460 healthy South Korean participants aged 18-83 years

K-SHSQ-25 enables SHS assessment in Koreans; extends validation to a new population but leaves open prospective outcome studies.

The Korean version of the Suboptimal Health Status Questionnaire-25 is a valid and reliable tool for assessing suboptimal health status in the Korean population.
Guo et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Suboptimal Health Status (n=460). Korean version of the Suboptimal Health Status Questionnaire-25 (K-SHSQ-25) was evaluated on Test-retest reliability (Intraclass correlation coefficient) (ICC 0.95, 95% CI 0.88-0.99). The Korean version of the Suboptimal Health Status Questionnaire-25 demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.953) and test-retest reliability (ICC 0.95), proving to be a valid tool.
