Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE): the relationship with activity measured by a portable accelerometer

摘要

Background. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) by coparing PASE scores with physical activity assessed by a portable accelerometer. Methods. Experimental design: Correlation-mean activity Level over a 3-day period was correlated with PASE scores. Setting: Physical activity of participants was monitored over 3 Days during normal daily activity. Participants: Twenty healthy Adult volunteers, 67-80 years of age, participated in this study.
