Article Synopsis
- The Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) is a prevalent self-report tool for measuring physical activity among older adults and is crucial for supporting healthy aging and functional ability.
- A scoping review of literature revealed that out of 4,124 studies screened, 232 peer-reviewed articles from 35 countries met the criteria, most being cross-sectional and focused on populations in high-income areas.
- The review found that different versions of the PASE showed good reliability and moderate validity correlating with self-reported activity and other health indicators, emphasizing its utility in assessing physical activity among community-dwelling older adults.
