“…Martín et al [22] reported similar results, with the Spanish version of YPAS, when compared to a test based on submaximal performance in a group of Spanish-speaking healthy older women (rho =0.349, p < 0.02).…”

“…Based on comparative studies between different PA questionnaires [6,7,[14][15][16], the YPAS [13] (1) is one of the most detailed questionnaires available for senior subjects with previously published validity, reliability and sensitivity to change; (2) presents issues easily understood and adapted to the daily routines and lifestyle of this population; (3) allows characterization of the intensity of each activity performed, as either light, moderate or vigorous; (4) identifies temporal aspects of daily movement patterns, as well as differences in seasonal activity undertaken [8,13,14,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23] and (5) used in diverse populations across nations and cultures [8,[22][23][24][25].…”

Abstract:This study aimed to translate, adapt and validate the Yale Physical Activity Survey (YPAS) to Portuguese culture in order to assess the level of physical activity in a country with one of the world's highest percentage of senior citizens. Permission was obtained from the original authors and translated according to WHO guidelines. Validation included 471 older adults (70.3% women; 74.9±6.5 years), covering Criterion Validity, through Spearman's rho, with a cross-reference standard, by accelerometry with 96 subjects; and Reliability comprising Internal Consistency through Cronbach's alpha with 471 subjects, and Temporal Stability through Intraclass Correlation Coefficient involving 30 subjects. YPAS-PT appeared suitable and relevant with low-to-moderate levels for all psychometric parameters. Significant correlations were found for all variables, including accelerometer data ranging from 0.201 to 0.452 (p<0.001). Internal consistency (α≥0.835) and temporal stability (ICC>0.75) demonstrated high reliability. The YPAS-PT is a valid instrument to assess Physical Activity patterns of Portuguese older adults, allowing record low-intensity activities typical of sedentary behavior, which is often excluded from other Physical Activity assessment tools. The study has concluded that the Portuguese version of YPAS (i.e., YPAS-PT) is a valid instrument to assess PA patterns of Portuguese older adults for research and social interventions.

“…two week retest of the vigorous activity index from Part II YPAS had Spearman r = 0.59). In prior work on Spanish translations of the YPAS, De Abajo [18] found a positive but relatively weak correlation between total time (r = 0.20) and energy expenditure (r = 0.23) recorded by the YPAS and Caltrac accelerometry activity units in Spanish elderly, while Martin [17] found modest correlation between 6-Minute Walk Test and the total time (r = 0.35) and energy expenditure scales (r = 0.38) from the YPAS in a population of elderly Spanish women. Although none of these studies drew upon the same standard measures of physical pain and function as we did here, they nevertheless document reflect consistency in the ability of the YPAS to reflect pain, function and quality of life.…”

“…We were unable to identify a translation of the YPAS tailored for Dominican patients. Further, while at least two Spanish translations of the YPAS have been reported [17,18], we were unable to find the translated instruments, despite extensive searching and attempts to contact the authors. Thus, we undertook a translation of the YPAS that would be appropriate for patients in the Dominican Republic (DR).…”

BackgroundValid measures of physical activity are critical research tools. The objective of this study was to develop a Spanish translation of the Yale Physical Activity Survey, and to provide preliminary evidence of its validity in a population of Dominican patients with lower extremity arthritis.MethodsA Dominican bilingual health care professional translated the Yale Physical Activity Survey (YPAS) from English to Spanish. Several Dominican adults reviewed the translation to ensure it was linguistically and culturally appropriate. The questionnaire was back-translated to English by a North American researcher who is fluent in Spanish. Discrepancies between the original and back-translated versions were resolved by the translator and back-translator. The Spanish translation was administered to 108 Dominican subjects with advanced hip or knee arthritis prior to (N = 44) or one to four years following (N = 64) total joint replacement. We assessed construct validity by examining the association of YPAS scores and measures of functional status and pain (WOMAC), quality of life (EQ-5D) and the number of painful lower extremity joints.ResultsA higher YPAS Part II Activity Dimensions Summary Index score had weak to modest correlations with worse function and quality of life as measured with the WOMAC function scale (r = 0.21, p = 0.03), SF-36 Physical Activity Scale (r = 0.29, p = 0.004) and EQ-5D (r = 0.34, p = 0.0007). Total minutes of vigorous activity and walking had weak to modest correlation with these measures (WOMAC Function Scale (r = 0.15, p = 0.15), SF-36 Physical Activity Scale (r = 0.21, p = 0.04) and EQ-5D utility (r = 0.24, p = 0.02)). Correlations between the YPAS Part I energy expenditure score and these measures were lower (WOMAC Function Scale (r = 0.07, p = 0.49), SF-36 Physical Activity Scale (r = 0.03, p = 0.74) and EQ-5D utility (r = 0.18, p = 0.07)).ConclusionsWe have developed a new Spanish translation of the Yale Physical Activity Survey and provided evidence of convergent validity in a sample of Dominican patients prior to or 1–4 years following total joint replacement.
