Comparative studies were searched in six electronic databases until April 2023. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database and the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies were used to determine the methodological quality of the randomized controlled trials and comparative studies respectively.

[Physical fitness and the health of older adults. Evaluation by means of batteries validated to the Spanish language].

Physical fitness is a key parameter to determine the health status of the elderly. However, the factors that define health-related fitness are poorly characterized, resulting in a wide variety of tools (test batteries). These batteries, which are used internationally, have not been validated to the Spanish language and their usage in Spanish-speaking countries could present a methodological problem as far as their scientific application is concerned.
