AbstractThe study aimed to explore the reliability and validity of the Sub-Health Measurement Scale version 1.0 (SHMS v1.0) for the assessment of the suboptimal health status (SHS) of Tianjin residents.This was a cross-sectional study that surveyed 2640 urban residents in Tianjin from June 2016 to January 2018. Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. Each subject completed the SHMS v1.0 and Short Form-36 (SF-36) scale assessments.The retest coefficient was 0.675. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.921. The correlation between SHMS v1.0 and SF-36 was 0.781 (P < .01). The SHS frequency increased with age, from 62.4% in participants ≤25 years of age to 72.8% in those ≥ 56 years of age. The multivariable analysis showed that female sex (P < .001), age >25 years old (P = .009), bachelor degree or above (P < .001), obesity (P < .0), regular smoking (P = .043), frequent drinking (P = .045), sleep time < 6 hours (P = .006), working time >10 hours (P < .001), physical exercise <5 times/mo (P < .001), and adverse events >9 (P < .001) were associated with SHS.The prevalence of SHS is high among urban residents in Tianjin.Copyright © 2021 the Author(s).
