The aim of this study is to research the degree of correlation between the Spanish version of the questionnaire YPAS and the 6-minute walking test (6MWT) in women over 60. In addition, the authors analyzed the relationship between the variables age and body mass index (BMI) and the walked distance. The study was carried out with 44 elderly women (68.1 ± 5.4 years) who filled in the questionnaire and immediately afterwards performed the 6MWT. Total time and energy expenditure (EE) values obtained in the questionnaire are significantly correlated with the 6MWT (p=0.02; p=0.01, respectively), while BMI and age showed an inverse association (r=-0.433; r=-0.318, respectively) with the walked distance. The Spanish version of YPAS is beginning to be considered as a valid and useful tool for habitual physical activity (PA) measurement and can be used among elderly Spanish speaking women.
本研究旨在研究西班牙语版 YPAS 问卷与 6 分钟步行测试(6MWT)在 60 岁以上女性中的相关性程度。此外,作者还分析了年龄和体重指数(BMI)等变量与行走距离之间的关系。该研究共纳入了 44 名老年女性(68.1±5.4 岁),她们填写了问卷,随后立即进行了 6MWT。问卷中获得的总时间和能量消耗(EE)值与 6MWT 呈显著相关(p=0.02;p=0.01),而 BMI 和年龄与行走距离呈负相关(r=-0.433;r=-0.318)。西班牙语版 YPAS 开始被认为是一种用于测量习惯性体力活动(PA)的有效和有用的工具,可用于西班牙语国家的老年女性。
