Now, there are two scales that are suitable for various population groups and encompass various dimensions of family health.

摘要： 家庭是社会的基本单元，是个体生活和成长的重要场所，对个体的身心健康具有重要影响。因此，促进家庭健康对提升居民健康水平和建设健康中国具有重要意义。本文回顾了关于家庭健康内涵和概念的研究。家庭健康是家庭维护和促进个体健康的能力，其内涵先后经历了从内部向外部、从整体到个体的扩展。家庭健康测量工具经过适用范围和所含维度两方面的扩展，形成了两种适用于不同研究对象且覆盖家庭健康多个维度的量表。当前在中国人群中最常用的家庭健康测量工具翻译和改编自外国学者开发的量表，未来研究还需根据中国国情和中华文化修订和检验现有量表，形成更适合中国人群的家庭健康量表。
