Healthy ageing means optimizing opportunities that allow older individuals to participate actively in society without discrimination. Learning adaptive behaviors (AB) may be extremely important for individuals for all stages of life. The goal of this study was: (a) to create a scale for self-perceived adaptive behavior, and (b) propose percentiles for evaluating AB in older adult women. A self-perception scale was created to measure adaptive behavior. Anthropometric and physical fitness variables for 192 older Chilean women (ages 60 to 88) were collected and evaluated. Content validity reflected agreement from 0.75 to 1.0. Construct validity carried out with exploratory factor analysis (EFA) resulted in 11 dimensions with 62 items in groups. Saturation oscillated between 0.62 and 0.85 with the explanation of variation as 46.27%. Cronbach's Alpha was r = 0.83. The results indicated that the scale developed was valid and reliable for the Chilean women studied. This scale may be used to measure self-perception of AB patterns in older women. Furthermore, the percentiles allow for classification of the AB by age and anthropometric indices.
健康老龄化意味着优化机会，使老年人能够在不受歧视的情况下积极参与社会。学习适应性行为（AB）可能对各个年龄段的个人都非常重要。本研究的目的是：（a）创建一个自我感知适应性行为的量表，（b）提出评估老年女性 AB 的百分位数。创建了一个自我感知量表来衡量适应性行为。收集并评估了 192 名智利老年女性（60 至 88 岁）的人体测量和体能变量。内容效度反映了 0.75 到 1.0 的一致性。使用探索性因素分析（EFA）进行的构念效度得出了 11 个维度，62 个项目在组内。饱和度在 0.62 到 0.85 之间波动，解释变化为 46.27%。克朗巴赫的 Alpha 为 r = 0.83。结果表明，为研究中的智利女性开发的量表具有有效性和可靠性。该量表可用于测量老年女性对 AB 模式的自我感知。此外，百分位数允许按年龄和人体测量指数对 AB 进行分类。
