Özet

LASA Physical Activity Questionnaire (LAPAQ) is frequently used for the elderly population in the literatüre, and its validity-reliability studies have been carried out.There are also comparative studies with other physical activity questionnaires. This study’s aim is to investigate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the LAPAQ (LAPAQ-T) for elderly individuals. One hundred and seven elderly were included in the study. LAPAQ-T and Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) were administered to the individuals participating in the study on the first day. LAPAQ-T was re-applied by the same physiotherapist 1 week after the first evaluation to measure test-retest reliability. The test-retest took place with the participation of 27 people. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate test-retest reliability. The ICC value for test-retest reliability was found to be 0.977, which suggests excellent test-retest reliability. A high correlation was found between the LAPAQ-T total score and the PASE total score (r=0.703, p<0.001). The results of our study show that the LAPAQ-T is a reproducible, reliable and valid questionnaire that evaluates the level of physical activity for elderly individuals. Therefore the questionnaire will be useful for clinicians in evaluating physical activity.
