| Annotation | The authors conducted a systematic review of studies examining correlations between assessments of function obtained using self-report and those obtained using performance-based measures for older people living in the Community. Articles were identified using MEDLINE, CINAHL and AGELINE, and hand-searching techniques. 17 studies met the inclusion criteria for review. Correlations between self-report and performance ranged from -0.72 to 0.60. 60% of the studies compared self-report instruments measuring disability with performance measures addressing functional limitations. In studies that assessed the same functional tasks and functional limitations using the two methods, the correlation varied between 0.60 and 0.86. When the construct measured by the two methods was the same, the correlations were moderate to large, and therefore, measurement of functional limitations by self-report or performance probably reflected a similar assessment of function.
