Aim: To compare PA measured using the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) and by accelerometry (ActiGraph) according to nutritional status in Chilean adults. Material and Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional study that used information from the GENADIO project carried out in Chile between 2009-2011. The sample consisted of 322 people. PA levels and sitting time were determined through the IPAQ self-report questionnaire and ActiGraph accelerometers (GTM1). The nutritional status was determined according to body mass index (BMI). Results: Compared with the measurement made with accelerometry, the IPAQ self-report questionnaire underestimated the levels of light PA, total PA and sedentary time in-171.5,-54.8 and-40.6 min / day, respectively. However, IPAQ overestimated the levels of moderate PA and vigorous PA in 91.0 and 47.3 min/day respectively, compared with accelerometry. Compared with normal weight, obese subjects reported higher levels of moderate PA (105.5 and 48.9 min/day, respectively) and vigorous PA (54.1 and 38.3 min/day respectively). Total PA had a greater delta of underestimation between IPAQ and accelerometer measurements in normal weight than in obese subjects (-122.1 vs-16.5 min/day, respectively). Conclusions: The measurement of PA by means of a self-report questionnaire was discrepant with its objective measurement with an accelerometer. The discrepancy is even higher in obese people.

Association between the Physical Activity Behavioral Profile and Sedentary Time with Subjective Well-Being and Mental Health in Chilean University Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Nevertheless, the present study is not without its limitations. First, due to the public health measures derived from the pandemic, the variables studied were self-reported through the internet, specifically self-reported physical activity is subject to overestimation compared to objective measures, such as accelerometry [ 76 ]. Second, the cross-sectional design does not allow determining causal inferences about relationships between variables.…”

“…One of the future lines of research, considering the design of this study, is to delve into the effects on well-being and mental health that the behavioral profile of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle could have in different populations with or without pathologies of physical and psychological health, as well as in different age groups. Similarly, it is convenient to continue studying the relationship between these variables, but using objective measurement instruments that complement the information provided by the self-report questionnaires [ 43 , 76 ]. For example, measurements of facial and non-verbal expression in the case of well-being [ 43 ], and for physical activity the use of accelerometers, which would allow a more precise recording of planned and unplanned physical activity [ 76 ].…”

Another aspect is the study of how much the different ways of coping with confinement may have affected the behavioral profile of active activity and sedentary lifestyle of university students.…”

Cuarentena por COVID-19: factores de riesgo asociados al sobrepeso y obesidad en estudiantes de la Universidad Mayor de San Andrés

“…El índice de masa corporal (IMC), se conforma como instrumento para el diagnóstico de sobrepeso y obesidad, establece una relación entre el peso, expresado en kilos, y la altura, expresada en metros (kg/m2) (5). En cuanto a la práctica de actividad física, ha sido asociada a un menor riesgo de obesidad en la población, lo que fue evidenciado con el uso de instrumentos como el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física (IPAQ), mismo que estima la práctica de conductas no saludables y el sedentarismo (6).…”

“…En este caso fue indispensable que el cuestionario fuera administrado en el centro escolar durante una hora lectiva, bien en papel o bien de forma digital en el aula de informática bajo la supervisión de un profesor. Por último, otra de las limitaciones de este estudio es que la autocumplimentación en cuestionarios tiende a sobreestimar la actividad física vigorosa y moderada y subestimar la actividad física ligera y el tiempo sedente, así como a sobreestimar la estatura y subestimar el peso (405,406). En cuanto a la actividad física, no teníamos capacidad para realizar determinaciones reales con acelerómetros y la mayor parte de los estudios consultados en la literatura utilizan cuestionarios autorreportados, por lo que nuestros resultados pueden ser comparables con los estudios previos.…”
