Internal consistency across domains ranged from Cronbach\u2019s alpha values of 0.651 to 0.901. In the Japanese cohort, test\u2013retest reliability yielded intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.941 for physical function, 0.877 for mental health, and 0.858 for social function. Construct validity was examined through correlations with disease-specific functional measurements and the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36). The SBMAPRO correlated with the SBMA Functional Rating Scale (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    = \u22120.826,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.001) and with the SF-36 mental health (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    = \u22120.693,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.001) and social functioning (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    = \u22120.617,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.001) domains. In subscale analyses, the SBMAPRO social domain was associated with trunk\u2013lower limb-related functional impairment (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    = \u22120.587,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001).
