Aging Males Symptoms

BACKGROUND Aging males’ symptoms (AMS) scale was developed to study the problems of aging males, especially related to the quality of life. Currently, there is no valid and reliable Indonesian version of the AMS scale. This study was aimed to translate and evaluate the validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the AMS scale. METHODS This cross-sectional study translated the existing AMS scale into Indonesian, which was tested in 40 years old males from May to August 2020. Cross-cultural validation of the AMS scale was conducted by translating the questionnaire from English to Indonesian by two independent-certified translators. The validity of the Indonesian version of the AMS scale was measured by conducting a Pearson correlation (r) analysis. The reliability of this questionnaire was tested and retested in 118 participants with a 2-week interval. In addition, Cronbach’s alpha value was measured and used as a reference. The first test was conducted in a corporate blood donor event in Matraman, East Jakarta, and the retest was conducted in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. RESULTS The Indonesian version of the AMS scale was valid and had a good internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.74. The test-retest reliability showed good reliability with an r-value of 0.981. Pearson correlation test showed that all questions in the questionnaire were valid (p<0.05) and correlated positively. CONCLUSIONS The Indonesian version of the AMS scale derived from this study is valid and has good reliability.

There is much literature on visual literacy across different fields of knowledge. Even so, generally there is a gap of literature that deals with measuring mathematical visual literacy skills. The objective of this paper is to produce empirical data on reliability and validity of mathematical visual literacy skills instrument. The development of items was based on the skills outlined Avgerinou’s VL Index (2007. The early stage in validating the instrument required researchers to seek face validity and content validity from panels of experts. Face validity was based on subjective judgements of the items. Meanwhile, content validity was determined by Content Validity Index (CVI) which is computed using Item-CVI (I-CVI) and Scale-CVI (S-CVI). Each mathematical visual literacy skills had accepted S-CVI values ranging from 0.86 to 1.00 but items with low I-CVI values were deleted. Next, construct validity and reliability was determined by using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Cronbach’s alpha respectively. The instrument, consisting of 43 items was assessed on 428 pre-university students. Students’ responses were scored using analytical rubric developed by researchers. Using Principal Component Axis (PCA) and varimax rotation, EFA was carried out where 40 retaining items were extracted to 7 factors, representing each visual literacy skills. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) of 0.721, significant Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity (BTS), communalities anti images ranging between 0.308-0.721 and 0.503-0.835 respectively, 7 extracted factors explaining 53.685% of the total variance, factor loadings of ±0.520 and more, and overall Cronbach’s alphas of instrument recorded at 0.82, explained the complete validity and reliability of the instrument.

The Korean version of the index of self-regulation (KISR) is a nine-item scale designed to measure individuals' level of self-regulation for physical activity. The purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the KISR, including reliability and validity, in a group of older Korean Americans. The KISR was administered to a sample of older Korean Americans at a baseline interview (Time 1) and 12 week followup (Time 2). The internal consistency of the KISR was high at both time points, with Cronbach's alphas of .94 and .95, respectively. The test-retest reliability was moderate-to-high at .68. There was evidence of construct validity of the KISR based on its moderate to high significant correlations with theoretically relevant variables, including motivational appraisal and self-efficacy for physical activity. A principal axis factoring with an oblique rotation resulted in two factors, explaining 89% of the variance. The KISR is a reliable and valid measure to assess the level of self-regulation for physical activity behavior in older Korean Americans.

Background:The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is commonly used in surveys, but reliability and validity has not been established in the Danish population.Methods:Among participants in the Danish Health Examination survey 2007–2008, 142 healthy participants (45% men) wore a unit that combined accelerometry and heart rate monitoring (Acc+HR) for 7 consecutive days and then completed the IPAQ. Background data were obtained from the survey. Physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) and time in moderate, vigorous, and sedentary intensity levels were derived from the IPAQ and compared with estimates from Acc+HR using Spearman’s correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman plots. Repeatability of the IPAQ was also assessed.Results:PAEE from the 2 methods was significantly positively correlated (0.29 and 0.49; P = 0.02 and P < 0.001; for women and men, respectively). Men significantly overestimated PAEE by IPAQ (56.2 vs 45.3 kJ/kg/day, IPAQ: Acc+HR, P < .01), while the difference was nonsignificant for women (40.8 vs 44.4 kJ/kg/day). Bland-Altman plots showed that the IPAQ overestimated PAEE, moderate, and vigorous activity without systematic error. Reliability of the IPAQ was moderate to high for all domains and intensities (total PAEE intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.58).Conclusions:This Danish Internet-based version of the long IPAQ had modest validity and reliability when assessing PAEE at population level.

Abstract Background: This study aims to investigate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Brunel Lifestyle Physical Activity Questionnaire (BLPAQ) and examine the cultural adaptation of the questionnaire.Methods: After the translation process, the test-retest reliability of the Turkish version of the questionnaire was analyzed with 24 (31.20±5.0 years old; 50% female) participants (2nd test was done 15 days after the first test). In addition, the validity of the scale was evaluated by the correlation between the BLPAQ and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) completed by 113 (30.59±5.40 years old; 63.7% Female) participants.Results: A powerful positive and significant correlation was found between the correlation coefficients of the BLPAQ's PPA and UPA subscales between both tests (respectively r=0.96, p<0.01; r=0.87, p<0.01). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.77 (quite reliable). The PPA subscale of the BLPAQ was positive with the IPAQ-SF's high-intensity physical activity subscale (r=0.47 p=0.00) and total IPAQ-SF excluding sitting (r=0.50 p=0.00) medium in the direction and low positive correlation with the walking activity subscale (r=0.25 p=0.024). No significant correlation was found between the UPA subdivision of BLPAQ and IPAQ-SF (p>0.05).Conclusion: BLPAQ, adapted into Turkish, is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to determine lifestyle according to physical activity level.

Background:The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of 2 currently available physical activity surveys for assessing time spent in sedentary behavior (SB) in older adults.Methods:Fifty-eight adults (≥65 years) completed the Yale Physical Activity Survey for Older Adults (YPAS) and Community Health Activities Model Program for Seniors (CHAMPS) before and after a 10-day period during which they wore an ActiGraph accelerometer (ACC). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) examined test-retest reliability. Overall percent agreement and a kappa statistic examined YPAS validity. Lin’s concordance correlation, Pearson correlation, and Bland-Altman analysis examined CHAMPS validity.Results:Both surveys had moderate test-retest reliability (ICC: YPAS = 0.59 (P < .001), CHAMPS = 0.64 (P < .001)) and significantly underestimated SB time. Agreement between YPAS and ACC was low (κ = −0.0003); however, there was a linear increase (P < .01) in ACC-derived SB time across YPAS response categories. There was poor agreement between ACC-derived SB and CHAMPS (Lin’s r = .005; 95% CI, −0.010 to 0.020), and no linear trend across CHAMPS quartiles (P = .53).Conclusions:Neither of the surveys should be used as the sole measure of SB in a study; though the YPAS has the ability to rank individuals, providing it with some merit for use in correlational SB research.
