✦ Synopsis

with one SIP scale and with five out of six NHP scales. Common factor analysis, yielding a two-factor solution with a physical and a mental factor of equal importance, showed the SIP scales to load more on the physical factor, while the NHP scales loaded more on the mental factor. The NHP generally performed better than the SIP in terms of feasibility and internal consistency. Physical functioning is emphasized in the SIP, whereas the emphasis of the NHP lies on mental functioning.

The analysis confirmed to some extent the intentions of the constructors of NHP and SIP respectively, i.e. the NHP to be a measure of perceived health and the SIP to be a more functional measure.

The serum ferritin (SERFER) may be elevated and misleading in the setting of chronic disease (chronic inflammation, liver disease, and neoplasm). The red cell ferritin (RB- CFER) may be more stable in clinical situations that affect the SERFER. We compared the ability of SERFER and RBCFER to assess
