In Japan, there are no valid and reliable physical activity questionnaires for elderly people. In this study, we translated the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) into Japanese and assessed its validity and reliability.
Three hundred and twenty-five healthy and elderly subjects over 65 years were enrolled. Concurrent validity was evaluated by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between PASE scores and an accelerometer (waking steps and energy expenditure), a physical activity questionnaire for adults in general (the Japan Arteriosclerosis Longitudinal Study Physical Activity Questionnaire, JALSPAQ), grip strength, mid-thigh muscle area per bodyweight, static valance and bodyfat percentage. Reliability was evaluated by the test-retest method over a period of 3-4 weeks.
The mean PASE score in this study was 114.9. The PASE score was significantly correlated with walking steps (rho = 0.17, P = 0.014), energy expenditure (rho = 0.16, P = 0.024), activity measured with the JALSPAQ (rho = 0.48, P < 0.001), mid-thigh muscle area per bodyweight (rho = 0.15, P = 0.006) and static balance (rho = 0.19, P = 0.001). The proportion of consistency in the response between the first and second surveys was adequately high. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the PASE score was 0.65.
The Japanese version of PASE was shown to have acceptable validity and reliability. The PASE is useful to measure the physical activity of elderly people in Japan.
在日本，尚无针对老年人有效且可靠的身体活动问卷。在本研究中，我们将老年人身体活动量表（PASE）翻译成日语，并评估其有效性和可靠性。
招募了325名65岁以上的健康老年人。通过PASE得分与加速度计（步行步数和能量消耗）、一般成人身体活动问卷（日本动脉硬化纵向研究身体活动问卷，JALSPAQ）、握力、每体重大腿中部肌肉面积、静态平衡和体脂百分比之间的Spearman等级相关系数来评估同时效度。通过3至4周的重测法评估可靠性。
本研究中PASE得分的平均值为114.9。PASE得分与步行步数（rho = 0.17，P = 0.014）、能量消耗（rho = 0.16，P = 0.024）、用JALSPAQ测量的活动（rho = 0.48，P < 0.001）、每体重大腿中部肌肉面积（rho = 0.15，P = 0.006）和静态平衡（rho = 0.19，P = 0.001）显著相关。第一次和第二次调查之间回答的一致性比例足够高。PASE得分的组内相关系数为0.65。
日语版PASE显示出可接受的有效性和可靠性。PASE对于测量日本老年人的身体活动很有用。
