The objective of this article is to test the reliability and validity of the new and innovative physical activity (PA) questionnaire.
Subsamples from the South American Youth/Child Cardiovascular and Environment Study (SAYCARE) study were included to examine its reliability (children: n = 161; adolescents: n = 177) and validity (children: n = 82; adolescents: n = 60). The questionnaire consists of three dimensions of PA (leisure, active commuting, and school) performed during the last week. To assess its validity, the subjects wore accelerometers for at least 3 days and 8 h/d (at least one weekend day). The reliability was analyzed by correlation coefficients. In addition, Bland-Altman analysis and a multilevel regression were applied to estimate the measurement bias, limits of agreement, and influence of contextual variables.
In children, the questionnaire showed consistent reliability (ρ = 0.56) and moderate validity (ρ = 0.46), and the contextual variable variance explained 43.0% with -22.9 min/d bias. In adolescents, the reliability was higher (ρ = 0.76) and the validity was almost excellent (ρ = 0.88), with 66.7% of the variance explained by city level with 16.0 min/d PA bias.
The SAYCARE PA questionnaire shows acceptable (in children) to strong (in adolescents) reliability and strong validity in the measurement of PA in the pediatric population from low- to middle-income countries.
本文旨在测试新的创新型体力活动(PA)问卷的可靠性和有效性。
纳入南美洲青少年心血管和环境研究(SAYCARE)研究的亚组,以检验其可靠性(儿童:n=161;青少年:n=177)和有效性(儿童:n=82;青少年:n=60)。该问卷包含过去一周内进行的三个维度的 PA(休闲、主动通勤和学校)。为了评估其有效性,要求研究对象佩戴加速度计至少 3 天,每天 8 小时(至少包括一个周末)。可靠性通过相关系数进行分析。此外,还应用 Bland-Altman 分析和多级回归来估计测量偏差、一致性界限和上下文变量的影响。
在儿童中,问卷显示出一致的可靠性(ρ=0.56)和中度有效性(ρ=0.46),并且上下文变量方差解释了 43.0%,存在-22.9 分钟/天的偏差。在青少年中,可靠性更高(ρ=0.76),有效性几乎为极好(ρ=0.88),城市水平解释了 66.7%的方差,存在 16.0 分钟/天的 PA 偏差。
SAYCARE PA 问卷在低至中等收入国家的儿科人群中测量 PA 时,具有可接受的(在儿童中)到很强的(在青少年中)可靠性和有效性。
