“…Patients in this study had a median of 360 min of daily physical activity, which is similar to levels measured by accelerometers in patients with chronic diseases (range 308–395 min) [29–31]. The cut-off point of 240 min of physical activity is a relatively low level considering that even older care home residents in the UK [32] and aged (73–98 year-olds) Icelandic people [33] accumulated 122–190 min of daily physical activity. The cut-off point was intentionally set at this relatively low level to allow examinations of the effects of very low amounts of physical activity.…”

Background: There is a lack of knowledge on the association between daily physical activity and lung function in patients with asthma. Objective: This study aims to examine the association between daily physical activity and asthma control, lung function, and lung function decline in patients with adult-onset asthma. Design: This study is part of Seinäjoki Adult Asthma Study (SAAS), where 201 patients were followed for 12 years after asthma diagnosis. Daily physical activity was assessed at follow-up by a structured questionnaire and used to classify the population into subgroups of low (≤240 min) or high (>240 min) physical activity. Three spirometry evaluation points were used: 1. diagnosis, 2. the maximum lung function during the first 2.5 years after diagnosis (Max0-2.5), 3. follow-up at 12 years. Results: High physical activity group had slower annual FEV1 (p<0.001) and FVC (p<0.018) decline. Additionally, the high physical activity group had higher FEV1 values at follow-up, and higher FEV1/FVC ratios at follow-up and diagnosis. There was no difference in BMI, smoking, medication, or frequency of physical exercise between high and low physical activity groups. Differences remained significant after adjustments for possible confounding factors. Conclusion: This is the first demonstration of an association between long-term FEV1 decline and daily physical activity in clinical asthma. Low physical activity is independently associated with faster decline in lung function. Daily physical activity should be recommended in treatment guidelines in asthma.

“…With the purpose of determining the construct validity of the questionnaire, participants were asked to carry the accelerometer with them for one week. The device remained attached to their right thigh above the iliac crest while in standing position 21 , or around their dominant wrist while in sitting position 22 . It was expressed that they were to use the device from early in the morning until they went to bed at night, putting it aside only if they wished to have a bath or a shower, or needed to perform any kind of water-based activity.…”

Various studies have highlighted the benefits of physical activity (PA) performance in older adults on physical, cognitive, and functional levels 1 . For this reason, one of the main health strategies aimed at this group is the promotion of PA 2 . For this purpose, it is fundamental to ascertain efficient resources in order to pinpoint the level of PA that has been reached after a period of time. This would allow experts to determine the baseline from which an adequate prescription of PA performance could be established, as well as to identify the effects of the interventions with this objective in mind. In this regard, PA recall performance questionnaires are considered the most effective tool given their low-cost, ease of administration, and capacity for simultaneous assessment in larger samples 3 . In spite of this, research is still scarce regarding the psychometric properties of the Spanish versions of questionnaires that are specifically tailored for the assessment of PA performance in older adults [4][5][6][7] . It has been suggested that the questionnaire that was created on the basis of the study entitled "Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors," also known as CHAMPS 8 , is the most advisable resource in situations where the main goal is to estimate the prevalence of PA performance in older adults, primarily because the questionnaire features a series of psychometric properties that are suitable for this purpose 9 . However, from an epidemiological approach, the use of CHAMPS with Spanish older populations would present a number of methodological limitations since the psychometric properties of the adapted version of CHAMPS for Hispanic populations have not yet been investigated 10 . Moreover, this version was later modified to assess its applicability in Puerto Rican populations, but only its internal consistency was analyzed by testing a very small sample of older adults between the ages of 65 and 9011 . Consequently, the degree of validity of that version remains to be determined when administered to adult Spanish populations. In addition, it has been noted that CHAMPS validity behaves differently in institutionalized older adults, a group for which a very low level of affinity has been detected between the amount of PA estimated by the questionnaire and the amount registered through accelerometry 12 . Hence, this particular line of research is yet to be fully exploited.Under these circumstances, the present study investigates the validity of a Spanish adaptation of the CHAMPS questionnaire for institutionalized older adults between the ages of 74 and 90. MethodsParticipants in this study were recruited through a collaboration agreement signed between the University of "Vigo" and "Fundación San Rosendo", a company that specializes in geriatric center management. The inclusion criteria were the following: (a)being over 65 years' old; (b) residing in a geriatric center; and (c)presenting mobility autonomy, in other words, being able to move freely without the help of another person.

“…O nível de AF tem sido predominantemente identificado por meio de autorrelato, uma vez que se trata de um método de baixo custo e facilmente aplicável em estudos com grandes populações, em um curto período de tempo. No entanto, as desvantagens deste método limitam a leitura dos resultados com precisão, principalmente em idosos [7][8][9][10] . Dadas as limitações particulares de autorrelato de AF em idosos, equipamentos de mensuração objetiva da AF, como por meio de acelerômetros, são necessários para identificar com maior precisão os níveis diários e padrões de atividade.…”

RESUMOIntrodução: Estudos populacionais utilizam, geralmente, métodos indiretos de estimativa do nível de atividade física (NAF) da população. Entretanto, o erro de medida, principalmente quando se trata da população idosa, é grande. Estudos nacionais que usam medidas objetivas são escassos. Objetivo: Este estudo buscou descrever o perfil de prática de atividade física (AF) da população idosa do município de São Paulo utilizando--se acelerometria. Métodos: Este trabalho faz parte do estudo SABE, desenvolvido na capital do Estado de São Paulo e analisou os dados de 568 idosos (≥ 65 anos). O acelerômetro da marca Actigraph foi utilizado durante 3 dias consecutivos. Os idosos foram classificados segundo o NAF de acordo com as recomendações atuais de AF. O NAF foi descrito (média e IC 95%) segundo sexo e grupos etários (< 70 anos, 70 a 79 anos e ≥ 80 anos). As proporções de idosos em cada grupo de NAF foram descritas em termos relativos (%). As diferenças entre os grupos foram estimadas utilizando-se o teste generalizado de igualdade entre médias de Wald. Resultados: Os idosos considerados sedentários representaram 63,1% (48,3% dos homens e 71,7% das mulheres) e apresentaram média de idade maior; houve prevalência de 25,7% dos homens e 8,13% das mulheres classificados como fisicamente ativos, o que corresponde a apenas 14,6% do total de idosos. Os idosos gastam, em média, 12,6 (IC 95% 10,6 -13,7) minutos por dia em atividades físicas consideradas de intensidade moderada e/ou vigorosa. A proporção de idosos fisicamente ativos é menor quanto maior for a idade. Conclusão: O NAF da população idosa do Município de São Paulo é baixo e considerado insuficiente, principalmente para o sexo feminino. Assim, houve maior proporção de idosos considerados sedentários e insuficientemente ativos quando comparados aos ativos.Descritores: acelerometria; idosos; atividade motora. (< 70 years, 70-79 years and ≥ 80 years). the proportion of elderly people in each Pal group was described in relative terms (%) ABSTRACT introduction: Population studies generally use indirect methods to estimate the physical activity level (Pal
