Abstract	[Purpose] To verify, using Rasch analysis, the applicability of the 36-Item Short FormHealth Survey (SF-36) to elderly Koreans, as this instrument would be useful fordetermining elderly individuals’ overall performance and providing them with healthinformation. [Subjects and Methods] The SF-36 was administered to a sample of 510individuals aged over 60 living in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas of South Korea. Whentesting for goodness-of-fit, we considered items with infit and outfit indexes of over1.30 or less than 0.70 to be incongruent. SF-36 factors that contained over three items,including physical functioning, role limitations (physical and emotional), mental health,vitality, and general health, were analyzed. Each factor was examined through stepcalibration of the response categories in the probability curve. [Results] The responsecategories were found to be appropriate because the adjustment values of each factorincreased. We found five items in physical functioning, two items in rolelimitation–emotion, one item in mental health, and one item in general health to beincongruent; all items in the role limitation–physical and vitality factors werecongruent. [Conclusion] We conclude that the SF-36 could be revised to more accuratelymeasure the health status of elderly Koreans.
