Validity of the global physical activity questionnaire (GPAQ) in Bangladesh
Written informed consent was taken from all study participants. Med Sci Sports Exerc. The current study found the volume of sedentary behaviour SB was greater when measured by the accelerometer than by the GPAQ. Both pedometers and accelerometers are likely to underestimate the intensity of these activities despite their being moderate-intensity efforts subjectively, as well as by auestionnaire expenditure measure Ainsworth range 5METs to 8.
The research assistants RA approached the selected households HHintroduced the study and its importance and asked permission to enroll one eligible person from each HH. This finding is similar to that of a study by Lee et al. As we will be correlating self-reported MVPA against accelerometers in each region separately the minimal required sample was 55 urban and 55 rural in total.

Furthermore, six of these eight countries, including Bangladesh, used pedometers, a criterion measure which is not sensitive to activity intensity, and only four, of which Bangladesh was not one, included rural populations in their sample. The agreement for categorization of participants into meeting sufficient physical activity level was fair for all participants Kappa: Encyclopedia Surv Res Methods Validity and reliability reconsidered.
Participants quesionnaire the accelerometer for seven consecutive days, except during sleep and water based activities. We used a gpxq Actigraph accelerometer as a reference measure for criterion validity. Additionally, we followed WHO guidelines for administering the GPAQ, provided intensive training on data collection staff and close supervision during data collection to minimize avoidable sources of measurement error.

On the other hand, quuestionnaire with activity questionnaires is ubiquitous as they are prone to biases such as recall and social desirability [ 4546 ]. A multi-site study of nine Asian rural areas including Bangladesh showed that PA was lower in the middle of the harvest season and increased during the more intensive harvest period [ 39 ].

Bauman A, Craig CL. Another limitation could be that the urban sample was comprised of volunteers from a workplace setting, thus the results may not have complete reflection of the general urban population. Additionally, in the 12 countries study validation of the short International Physical Activity Questionnaire IPAQthe pooled validity correlations against accelerometers was found to be 0. The gold standard measurement for assessing energy expenditure are indirect calorimetry, doubly labelled water or heart rate monitoring, however, these are expensive and require technical expertise for implementation.

Our finding of a low correlation rho: For example, the Freedson determination of moderate and vigorous PA accelerometer cut points were based on walking and running on a treadmill [ 25 ] and are unlikely to capture the intensity associated with walking carrying heavy loads or on uneven surface as is common in rural areas of developing countries such as Bangladesh and thus accelerometer may underestimate total MVPA in these populations [ 37 ].
Its performance with regard to the urban population was at the highest range of most surveillance tools and better than for the rural population. Accelerometers are considered as more accurate than self-report for measuring time spent in different intensities and therefore used as criterion in validation of subjective self-report questionnaires [ 22 ]. The measurement of observer agreement for categorical data.
To interpret agreement we used following standards: Support for this argument is the good correlation we found with time spent on light-intensity PA based on accelerometer and GPAQ occupation and travel-related physical activity, a correlation that was in the same range as for accelerometer MVPA. On the first meeting day, study procedures were explained and informed consent obtained.
Accelerometer To investigate the criterion validity we chose the Actigraph GT3X accelerometers as objective sensor-based activity monitors to provide the criterion measure.

A significant, low level of agreement between the GPAQ and accelerometer data for sitting was observed rho: Validity of the global physical activity questionnaire GPAQ in assessing levels and change in moderate-vigorous physical activity and sedentary behaviour.
A comparison of the prevalence rates indicates that diabetes is becoming as problematic in rural as in urban populations [ 17 — 19 ].
Training sessions were properly guided by the facilitators and supervisors. After stratification by place, significant fair-to-moderate correlation was found for females, whereas urban young adults showed a significantly higher correlation than young rural adults.
These might be the reasons that low PA was found to be almost similar in both urban and gpqq Background Physical activity PA is a key behavioural factor for maintaining health and well-being at individual and population levels [ 1 — 3 ].
