Validity of the international physical activity questionnaire short form for assessing physical activity in Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the validity of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF) against an objective method for assessing physical activity (PA) in Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods

This cross-sectional study included 126 adults with T1D (aged 20-74 years). The participants wore a triaxial accelerometer for 7 consecutive days and completed the IPAQ-SF (a recall survey for the last 7 days) on the day following the 7-day accelerometer period. This ensured alignment between the periods assessed by both the methods.

Results

A total of 112 participants were analyzed. The IPAQ-SF group had lower daily time in sedentary behavior (SB), total moderate-intensity PA (MPA) (including walking), vigorous-intensity PA (VPA), total PA (in
