[EN ]Objective: To compare the psychometric properties of scales top measure activities of daily living, constructed with different scaling methods, and to check whether the most complex scales have higher discriminatory capacity. Method: Sample of elderly people from the Spanish Survey on Disability, Personal Autonomy and Dependency We used 14 items that measured activities of daily living. Five scaling methods were applied: Sum and Rasch (both for dichotomous and polytomous items) and Guttman (dichotomous). We evaluated the discriminatory capacity (relative precision [RP]) and area under the curve (AUC). Results: All methods showed high Pearson correlations among them (0.765-0.993). They had similar discriminatory power when comparing ext...
