The use of brief screening tools to identify inactive patients is essential to improve the efficiency
of primary care-based physical activity (PA) programs. However, the current employment
of short PA questionnaires within the Spanish primary care pathway is unclear. This
study evaluated the validity of the Spanish version of a Brief Physical Activity Assessment
Tool (SBPAAT).
Methods
A validation study was carried out within the EVIDENT project. A convenience sample of
patients (n = 1,184; age 58.9±13.7 years; 60.5% female) completed the SBPAAT and the
7-day Physical Activity Recall (7DPAR) and, in addition, wore an accelerometer (ActiGraph
GT3X) for seven consecutive days. Validity was evaluated by measuring agreement,
Kappa correlation coefficients, sensitivity and specificity in achieving current PA recommendations
with the 7DPAR. Pearson correlation coefficients with the number of daily minutes
engaged in moderate and vigorous intensity PA according to the accelerometer were also
assessed. Comparison with accelerometer counts, daily minutes engaged in sedentary,
light, moderate, and vigorous intensity PA, total daily kilocalories, and total PA and ltime expenditure (METs-hour-week) between the sufficiently and insufficiently active
groups identified by SBPAAT were reported.
Results
The SBPAAT identified 41.3%sufficiently active (n = 489) and 58.7% insufficiently active
(n = 695) patients; it showed moderate validity (k = 0.454, 95% CI: 0.402–0.505) and a
specificity and sensitivity of 74.3%and 74.6%, respectively. Validity was fair for identifying
daily minutes engaged in moderate (r = 0.215, 95% CI:0.156 to 0.272) and vigorous PA
(r = 0.282, 95% CI:0.165 to 0.391). Insufficiently active patients according to the SBPAAT
significantly reported fewer counts/minute (-22%), fewer minutes/day of moderate (-11.38)
and vigorous PA (-2.69), spent fewer total kilocalories/day (-753), and reported a lower
energy cost (METs-hour-week) of physical activities globally (-26.82) and during leisure
time (-19.62).
Conclusions
The SBPAAT is a valid tool to identify Spanish-speaking patients who are insufficiently
active to achieve health benefits. |
