Detecting inactivity in aging populations: the discriminative potential of the physical activity scale for the elderly
In the present study, the PASE was found to have moderate sensitivity and specificity in discriminating physical inactivity. It is not a sufficient stand-alone measure for physical inactivity, so it is recommended that the PASE be included as part of a comprehensive physical inactivity assessment in older adults.
