Hence, this study aimed to assess the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the SF-36 in a Chinese population of patients with Graves' disease. Construct validity was assessed by comparing the SBI and SFI with subscales of Short Form 36 (SF-36), back and leg Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ). Using confirmatory factor analysis through structural equation modeling, we evaluate the construct validity of this scale. It is one of the most responsive standardized status instruments used in combination with disease specific measurement tools. The CFA, fitness estimates, reliability and validity assessments suggest that the Malay version of SF36 is a valid and reliable instrument. In addition, it is appropriate for use among elderly and minority groups like migrants. Short Form 36 (SF-36) The SF-36 questionnaire is a globally established, validated and frequently used questionnaire that is used in various medical disciplines. Items: 10 Reliability: Most of these studies that examined the reliability of the SF_36 have exceeded 0.80 (McHorney et al., 1994; Ware et al., 1993). We therefore aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the SF-36 in patients with SpA in Singapore.
