Concurrent Validity of the Japanese Version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Long Form for Assessing Walking Behavior Across Adulthood: Applicability to Older Adults
The Japanese IPAQ-L showed weak to moderate concurrent validity for assessing total walking when compared to accelerometer-based activity data across age groups. Notably, the validity was higher in older adults. These findings suggest that the Japanese IPAQ-L can be used to rank individuals based on their total walking, with reasonable applicability to older adults.
