(1) Background: Unadjusted lifestyles have been the main cause of risk for the loss of years of healthy life. However, currently valid and reliable instruments to assess the lifestyles of the elderly are quite long and difficult to interpret. For this reason, the objective of this study was to adapt and validate the 'Individual Lifestyle Profile' (ILP) scale in a sample of elderly people; (2) Methods: A methodological study was carried out and a sample of 300 older adults enrolled in a Health Unit located in the North of Portugal was used, who responded to the scale. We examined internal consistency, predictive validity, and discriminative ability; (3) Results: After the Exploratory Factorial analysis, a solution was found with four factors that explain a variance of 67.8%. The designation of the factors was changed from the original scale, with the exception of one dimension, and they were called Health Self-management, Social Participation and Group Interaction, Citizenship and Physical Activity. The total internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) was 0.858, ranging from 0.666 to 0.860 in the mentioned factors; (4) Conclusions: The ILP scale proved to be easy to apply and presented a good reliability and validity index, based on internal consistency, AFE and AFC. The scale allows evaluating the lifestyle of older adults, and its use will be aimed at modifying behaviors associated with negative lifestyles of older adults and their individual needs.
(1) 背景：未调整的生活方式一直是导致健康寿命损失的主要原因。然而，目前有效的、可靠的评估老年人生活方式的工具相当长且难以解释。出于这个原因，本研究的目的是在老年人样本中调整和验证“个人生活方式概况”（ILP）量表；(2) 方法：进行了一项方法学研究，使用了葡萄牙北部一个健康单位的 300 名老年人样本，他们对该量表做出了回应。我们检查了内部一致性、预测有效性和区分能力；(3) 结果：经过探索性因素分析，找到了一个可以解释 67.8%方差的四个因素的解决方案。除了一个维度之外，这些因素的名称都从原始量表中改变了，它们被称为健康自我管理、社会参与和群体互动、公民身份和体育活动。总内部一致性（克朗巴赫的 alpha）为 0.858，在提到的因素中范围为 0.666 至 0.860；(4) 结论：ILP 量表易于应用，具有良好的可靠性和有效性指标，基于内部一致性、AFE 和 AFC。该量表可用于评估老年人的生活方式，其使用将旨在改变与老年人负面生活方式和个人需求相关的行为。
