AI Article Synopsis

  • Older participants flagged for decreased physical activity based on the Japanese Cardiovascular Health Study did not experience a notable decline in activity as measured by accelerometers.
  • This suggests a disconnect between self-reported assessment tools and actual physical activity levels.
  • The Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study physical activity questionnaire may not be reliable for tracking changes in activity among older adults.

Despite its widespread use in Japanese studies, the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study physical activity questionnaire may not effectively capture declines in physical activity.
