The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was developed to assess the physical activity patterns in populations. The authors aim to examine the reliability and validity of the Malay version of IPAQ (IPAQ-M). The IPAQ-M was self-administered twice at a 1-week interval to assess its test-retest reliability. Criterion validity was assessed between the IPAQ-M and a 7-day physical activity log (PA-Log). A total of 81 Malay adults participated in the study. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), kappa (κ), correlation coefficients (ρ), and Bland-Altman plot were used for data analyses. The ICC scores revealed moderate to good correlations (ICC = 0.54-0.92; P < .001) on items categorized by intensities and domains and a κ of 0.73 for total activity. Validity results from the PA-Log were statistically significant (P < .001) across intensities and domains (ρ = 0.67-0.98). The IPAQ-M demonstrated good reliability and validity for the evaluation of physical activity among this Malay population.
国际体力活动问卷(IPAQ)旨在评估人群的体力活动模式。作者旨在检验IPAQ马来语版本(IPAQ-M)的信度和效度。IPAQ-M在1周的间隔内进行了两次自填式调查,以评估其重测信度。在IPAQ-M和7天体力活动日志(PA-Log)之间评估了效标效度。共有81名马来成年人参与了该研究。组内相关系数(ICC)、kappa(κ)、相关系数(ρ)和Bland-Altman图用于数据分析。ICC分数显示,按强度和领域分类的项目具有中度到良好的相关性(ICC = 0.54 - 0.92;P <.001),总活动量的κ值为0.73。PA-Log的效度结果在各强度和领域均具有统计学意义(P <.001)(ρ = 0.67 - 0.98)。IPAQ-M在评估该马来人群的体力活动方面表现出良好的信度和效度。
