MOREIRA, Aurora et al. Validation of a Portuguese version of WHODAS 2.0: 12 items in people aged 55 or more. []. , 33, 2, pp.179-182. ISSN 0870-9025.

To evaluate the reliability and validity in people aged 55 or more, WHODAS 2.0 ‐ 12 items was translated and adapted into Portuguese. With an interval of seven days, 144 participants from community support services fulfilled WHODAS 2.0 twice. The results show good internal consistency (α = 0.86) and excellent reproducibility ICC = 0.77 [95% CI = 0.69‐0.83]. The results show an association between the Barthel Index and the Lubben Social Network Scale and discriminate the overall functioning of the participants according to the presence or absence of a medical condition. This version is equivalent to the original version, is reliable and valid.
