the study aims to evaluate the reproducibility between the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and the American College of Sports Medicine/American Heart Association criteria to classify the physical activity profile in an adult population living in Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil.
population-based cross-sectional study, including 930 adults of both genders. The reliability was evaluated by Kappa statistics, estimated according to socio-demographic strata.
the kappa estimates showed good agreement between the two criteria in all strata. However, higher prevalence of "actives" was found by using the American College of Sports Medicine/American Heart Association.
although the estimates have indicated good agreement, the findings suggest caution in choosing the criteria to classify physical activity profile mainly when "walking" is the main modality of physical activity.
本研究旨在评估国际体力活动问卷与美国运动医学学会/美国心脏协会标准之间的可重复性,以对居住在巴西圣保罗州里贝朗普雷图的成年人群的体力活动状况进行分类。
基于人群的横断面研究,纳入930名成年男女。通过Kappa统计量评估可靠性,并根据社会人口学分层进行估计。
kappa估计值显示,在所有分层中,两种标准之间具有良好的一致性。然而,使用美国运动医学学会/美国心脏协会标准时,发现“活跃”人群的患病率更高。
尽管估计值表明一致性良好,但研究结果表明,在选择体力活动状况分类标准时应谨慎,尤其是当“步行”是体力活动的主要方式时。
