“…Using the maximum likelihood and the varimax rotation, 4 factors were extracted that together explained 52.8% of the total variance. Similar results were reported by other investigators [12,32]. Also, Slotman et al, by conducting an EFA, confirmed the multidimensional factor structure of the APQ [10,14].…”

“…Chen at al. assess the reliability of the Chinese version of the Questionnaire (C-APQ) and found acceptable alphas ranging from 0.665 to 0.869 for the subscales of the C-APQ [12]. Wang et al found a Cronbach's alpha of 0.87 for the APQ, indicating that the questionnaire had good consistency and reliability [32].…”

“…This finding confirmed the repeatability of the questionnaire, and showed that the Persian version of the APQ had a good stability. Chen et al found ICCs ranging from 0.82 to 1; this indicated that the APQ had a consistency [12]. A study assessed the reliability of the B-APQ, and found a correlation coefficient of 0.94, indicating that the questionnaire had good reliability [5].…”

“…In terms of assessing perception of aging, a recommended instrument is the Aging Perceptions Questionnaire (APQ) that is a comprehensive and multidimensional questionnaire. It has been translated into different languages, and used in different countries, including the Netherlands [10], Brazil [11], China [12], France [13] and also among Turkish immigrants in the Netherlands [14]. Considering the importance of assessing perception of aging in the elderly population of Iran, and given the cultural differences between Iran and developed countries regarding aging, the present study aimed to translate the Aging Perceptions Questionnaire (APQ) from English into Persian and assess its psychometric properties in Iran.…”

Background: Population aging is an important phenomenon for many countries worldwide. Considering the growing trend of aging population in Iran, it is very important to consider beliefs and perceptions of old people about aging. The Aging Perception Questionnaire (APQ) is one of the most common instruments that used to measure aging comprehension. The present study was a methodological inquiry that aimed to examine validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Aging Perception Questionnaire (APQ). Methods: Forward-backward procedure was used for translation. Content validity and face validity were evaluated qualitatively. In order to evaluate construct validity a cross section study was conducted and both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. In order to determine reliability, internal consistency (the Cronbach's alpha) and stability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient-ICC) were estimated. Results: A total of 500 elderly people attending the community centers in Tehran, Iran were entered in other study and completed the Persian version of the questionnaire. Most elderly were female (52.8%).The mean age of participants was 68.33 (SD ± 6.10) years. The results obtained from exploratory factor analysis showed a four-factors solution (consequences negative, emotional representation, control positive and consequences positive) that jointly explained 52.8% of the total variance observed. In addition the confirmatory factory analysis showed a good fit for the data. Finally, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.83 ranging from 0.80 to 0.87 was obtained for the whole scale and the subscales. The ICC value of 0.96 ranging from 0.90 to 0.98 was found for the whole scale and the subscales. Conclusion: The results indicated that the Persian version of APQ is valid and can be used to measure aging perception in Iran.

Background In China, quality of life (QOL) of the elderly with hypertension was lower than that of normal elderly and lower self‐perceptions of aging (SPA) in the elderly with chronic diseases have been shown. Previous studies showed that SPA played a key role in QOL of the elderly. We hypothesised that SPA were associated with QOL in Chinese elderly with hypertension, with more negative SPA predicting lower QOL. Methods A cross‐sectional survey was conducted in one comprehensive hospital, 15 urban community clinics and 22 rural village clinics in Suzhou. In total, 1029 Chinese elderly with hypertension completed the self‐administered questionnaires, including socio‐demographic and clinical characteristics, aging perceptions questionnaire which contained seven dimensions and Medical Outcomes Study 36‐item Short Form Health Survey evaluating QOL which included physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). Results Correlation analysis between SPA and QOL showed that most dimensions of SPA were correlated with PCS and MCS, except for Emotional Representations not correlated with MCS. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed: the dimensions Timeline Chronic (B = −2.651, P < 0.001), Consequences Negative (B = −2.155, P < 0.001) and Emotional Representations (B = −2.672, P < 0.001) had a negative association with PCS, while Timeline Cyclical (B = 1.401, P = 0.023), Consequences Positive (B = 1.200, P = 0.011) and Control Positive (B = 1.425, P = 0.004) had a positive association with PCS; the dimensions Timeline Cyclical (B = −1.734, P < 0.001) and Consequences Negative (B = −1.646, P < 0.001) had a negative association with MCS, while Timeline Chronic (B = 1.313, P < 0.001), Consequences Positive (B = 0.962, P = 0.012), Control Positive (B = 2.453, P < 0.001) and Control Negative (B = 1.860, P < 0.001) had a positive association with MCS. Conclusions Our results suggest that negative SPA tended to be associated with lower QOL in Chinese elderly with hypertension. Some measures to improve unhealthy negative SPA should be delivered to improve QOL in Chinese elderly with hypertension.
