This study assessed agreement between self- and medical recordreport of medical conditions in an elderly population. Medicalcharts of 120 participants in a screening program were abstracted,and the questionnaire report of eight major conditions was comparedwith the medical record. There was substantial or moderate agreementbetween self-report and medical record report for each condition,although strength of agreement varied by condition. Self-reportby elderly individuals compares favorably with medical recordreport of medical conditions.
