AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the validity of four physical activity questionnaires among culturally diverse older adults by comparing self-reported physical activity with actual physical functioning.
- 54 older adults participated in various tests, including the CS-PFP10 and several questionnaires (PASE, HAMPS, YPAS, modified Baecke).
- Significant correlations were found between the PASE, CHAMPS, YPAS, and the CS-PFP10 scores, indicating that these questionnaires are valid for this population, while the modified Baecke showed no correlation.
Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish validity evidence of four physical activity (PA) questionnaires in culturally diverse older adults by comparing self-report PA with performance-based physical function. Participants were 54 older adults who completed the Continuous Scale Physical Functional Performance 10-item Test (CS-PFP10), Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE), HAMPS Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Adults, Yale Physical Activity Survey (YPAS), and modified Baecke questionnaire. The total PASE score, three outcome scores for the CHAMPS, and three summary indices for the YPAS were significantly correlated with total CS-PFP10 score. The modified Baecke exhibited no correlations with CS-PFP10 scores. The PASE, CHAMPS, and YPAS appear to be the most valid PA self-report questionnaires for culturally diverse older adults.
