Reprodutibilidade e validade do Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) em homens idosos

Abstract: É necessário encontrar meios para quantificar de maneira eficiente e econômica o nível de atividade física da população. Os questionários são formas viáveis e econômicas, embora seja discutível a fidedignidade dessas medidas. Este estudo objetivou determinar a reprodutibilidade e a validade do Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) em homens idosos. A amostra foi composta por 29 homens idosos acima de 60 anos, com média de idade de 66,6 anos (DP = 4,3), participantes do programa de extensão da U… Show more

“…Studies that measured the level of physical activity in other populations using questionnaires also found moderate correlations with movement sensors. Benedetti et al 19 evaluated 29 patients older than 60 years and found a correlation of r=0.24 between the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the number of weekly steps. Similar results were found in a group of elderly patients with Alzheimer (r=0.57) and physically active elderly women (r=0.27) 20,21 , Therefore, the correlation found in our study (rho=0.34) was similar to that found in studies that analyzed conventional instruments to measure physical activity.…”

“…The IPAQ, proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1998 and which had its long version validated in Brazil in elderly men by Benedetti et al 11 was used to evaluate physical activity level. According to the aforementioned authors, the questionnaire has high reproducibility, is easy to use and have low cost.…”

“…The long version of the questionnaire was used and participants reported the activities carried out in a common week. Activities were divided into activities at work, at home and as means of transport and leisure 11 . After the interview, the time spent on each specific activity was added to a weekly total time spent on physical activity and further classified as: little active (who performs activity lasting less than 150 minutes per week) or very active (who performs physical activity lasting 150 minutes or more per week).…”

“…Portanto, os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar a ocorrência de quedas e seus fatores associados e identificar os pontos de corte de testes de equilíbrio e mobilidade funcional mais adequados para identificar idosos ativos na comunidade com risco de quedas. [16][17][18] O teste sentado para de pé consiste em levantar e sentar de uma cadeira determinado número de vezes. Esse varia entre os estudos, mas normalmente é entre uma e cinco vezes.…”
