“…Among the two questionnaires, the GPAQ assesses PAL using face‐to‐face interviews, whereas the generic version of IPAQ (short and long version) is usually a self‐administered format. In this regard, a study reported that the self‐administered IPAQ scored two‐times higher PAL when the same questionnaire was used as the interviewer‐administered format 35 . In addition to these, the GPAQ assesses PAL using show cards of different PA that takes into account the local features of the surveyed population 20,36 .…”

Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine the level of physical activity (PA), its barriers, and the associated factors among the patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in Bangladesh. Methods This cross‐sectional study recruited 215 patients with T2DM who visited the Bangladesh Institute of Health Sciences General Hospital from January to December 2019. Their PA level and its barriers were detected using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Barriers to Being Active Quiz, respectively. The PA levels and their barriers were presented using descriptive statistics. The associated factors of PA were identified using the multinomial logistic regression analysis. Results Nearly one third of the study subjects (31.2%) were physically inactive. Among the active subjects (68.8%), more than half were moderately active (46%) and rest (22.8%) were engaged in vigorous PA. In the reported barriers of PA, half of the respondents considered “lack of willpower” as the major barrier followed by “lack of energy” (39.4%) and “lack of time” (36.7%). The associated factors of PA level were the occupational status (employed), monthly income, and the personal barrier “lack of time.” Conclusion A significant portion of Bangladeshi patients did not meet the recommended PA and several personal barriers were identified as the contributing factors of this inactivity. It demands intervention to motivate them to increase PA and their commitment to time management. Future research could clarify the current finding more precisely using the objective measurement of PA in a large sample of patients with T2DM.

“…LTPA was assessed from 1965 to 2013. Data collected in (age 44 sweep) and 2004 (age 46 sweep) regarding to LTPA were not used in this study because they were assessed by different interview methods (self-reported and telephone-based interview, respectively), which may decrease signi cantly both reliability and comparability of measurements [17]. All included LTPA data were assessed by face-to-face interview-administered paper-based questionnaire.…”

Background: We aimed to test which life course model best described the association between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and multimorbidity at age 55. We analyzed data from birth to age 55 using the database from the 1958 National Child Development Survey. Methods: Multimorbidity was considered as the presence of more than one chronic condition. LTPA was measured through questionnaires from 1965 (age 7) to 2013 (age 55), which were applied in eight different occasions. We compared the fit of a series of nested adjusted logistic regression models (representing either the critical, accumulation or sensitive period models) with a fully saturated model. Data were reported as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).Results: From the initial sample of 17,415 cohort members, 9,134 were interviewed in the latest sweep (49.2%). Men were more physically active than women at ages 11, 16, and 23 (p<0.001). LTPA every day in the week was more frequent in women than men in ages 33, 42, and 50 (p<0.001). The sensitive analysis revealed that LTPA during adolescence (OR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.57, 0.92) and late adult life (OR: 0.71; 95%CI: 0.55, 0.91) have a stronger effect on the risk for multimorbidity at age 55 considering all other life stages in the model. Also, adolescence showed a critical independent effect on the risk for multimorbidity (OR: 0.74; 95%CI: 0.59, 0.92). No difference was found between those models. Conclusions: These data support the notion of a protective physical activity “legacy” at early ages of childhood against multimorbidity at older ages. We highlight the need for LTPA promotion through intervention tailored especially on schooling and older ages in order to reduce the burden of multimorbidity.

“…On the other hand, the IPAQ is a widely used tool for assessment of physical activity and time spent sitting. It can be used in large study populations since it is inexpensive, simple and non-invasive [6,18,19,21,22]. Its validity and reliability have been proven in numerous studies [6,[23][24][25].…”

“…Its validity and reliability have been proven in numerous studies [6,[23][24][25]. Moreover, to avoid the problem of misreporting due to a lack of understanding of the IPAQ questions [22], we introduced an interviewer to the study, so our results can be compared with other international studies.…”

The time spent sitting does not always mean a low level of physical activity

Background: The problem of spending most of the day in a sitting position concerns all people, regardless of their age. Unfortunately, this trend is more and more often observed among young people. The aim of the study was to assess self-reported physical activity and time spent sitting among students of different fields of health related faculty. Methods: The study group included 216 students (22.3 ± 1.8 years of age) of the Medical University of Lodz: physiotherapy students (n = 101), pharmacy students (n = 73), and dietetics students (n = 42). The time spent sitting and physical activity level were assessed based on the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-long version. Results: The time spent sitting among health related faculty students was on average more than 46 h a week (2781.8 ± 1238.5 MET-minutes/week). Regarding all the students the pharmacy students spent most time sitting (3086.0 ± 1032.1 MET-minutes/week), while the dietetics students spent the least (2215.7 ± 1230.1 MET-minutes/ week). Taking into account the physical activity level almost 65% of all the students were in a high category (mainly physiotherapy students). Only 1.4% of all the surveyed students were classified as the low physical activity category. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences (P = 0.6880) between the time spent sitting and level of physical activity among all students. Conclusions: Students of medical universities spend too much hours on sitting, mostly 5-8 h a day. Despite this, they undertake various activities due to which their level of physical activity is moderate or even high. Therefore, it cannot be unequivocally stated that there is a relationship between the time spent sitting and physical activity level.
