Another word for “acceptable” [closed]

Question

What is a better word to describe "acceptable"?

For example, I want to say: "this result may well provide an acceptable measurement of health". I could use "good", "new",... but I want to express a humble idea of just creating a new variable that could be used widely later on in research...

Thanks in advance.

1. Giving satisfaction

   "satisfactory living conditions"; "his grades were satisfactory"
