Concurrent validity of the HSCS-PS assessed by Spearman correlations between original HSCS-PS domains and two additional domains (n=4546)†

HSCS-PS domains	General health	Behaviour
Vision	0.04 (−0.003 to 0.094)	0.02 (−0.011 to 0.060)
Hearing	0.09 * (0.039 to 0.143)	0.04 (−0.002 to 0.085)
Speech	0.08* (0.047 to 0.111)	0.09* (0.059 to 0.126)
Mobility	0.13* (0.066 to 0.187)	0.06* (0.015 to 0.106)
Dexterity	0.11* (0.038 to 0.178)	0.07* (0.013 to 0.129)
Self-care	0.09* (0.051 to 0.129)	0.17* (0.129 to 0.218)
Emotion	0.00 (−0.016 to 0.033)	0.16* (0.088 to 0.221)
Learning and remembering	0.11* (0.051 to 0.178)	0.16* (0.091 to 0.228)
Thinking and problem solving	0.11* (0.056 to 0.176)	0.18* (0.123 to 0.245)
Pain and discomfort	0.21* (0.161 to 0.250)	0.08* (0.040 to 0.109)

Values presented in this table are values of Spearman correlation coefficient (CC) and 95% CI of Spearman’s CC.

† Correlations with predefined related general health/behaviour are in italics; other (spurious) are in standard font.

* When (a) 95% CI is not ‘across 0’; and (b) p value <0.05, the correlation coefficient was regarded as statistically significant.
