OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a short questionnaire to
estimate physical activity (PA) practice and sedentary behavior
for the adult population. METHODS: The short questionnaire was
developed using data from a cross-sectional population-based
survey (n = 6352) that included the Minnesota leisure-time PA
questionnaire. Activities that explained a significant
proportion of the variability of population PA practice were
identified. Validation of the short questionnaire included a
cross-sectional component to assess validity with respect to the
data collected by accelerometers and a longitudinal component to
assess reliability and sensitivity to detect changes (n = 114,
aged 35 to 74 years). RESULTS: Six types of activities that
accounted for 87% of population variability in PA estimated with
the Minnesota questionnaire were selected. The short
questionnaire estimates energy expenditure in total PA and by
intensity (light, moderate, vigorous), and includes 2 questions
about sedentary behavior and a question about occupational PA.
The short questionnaire showed high reliability, with intraclass
correlation coefficients ranging between 0.79 to 0.95. The
Spearman correlation coefficients between estimated energy
expenditure obtained with the questionnaire and the number of
steps detected by the accelerometer were as follows: 0.36 for
total PA, 0.40 for moderate intensity, and 0.26 for vigorous
intensity. The questionnaire was sensitive to detect changes in
moderate and vigorous PA (correlation coefficients ranging from
0.26 to 0.34). CONCLUSION: The REGICOR short questionnaire is
reliable, valid, and sensitive to detect changes in moderate and
vigorous PA. This questionnaire could be used in daily clinical
practice and epidemiological studies. |
