Overview

NZPAQs warrant caution for moderate-intensity estimates due to overreporting; leaves open need for culturally adapted validation in multiethnic adults.

Structured PICO

Do the short- and long-form New Zealand Physical Activity Questionnaires accurately measure physical activity levels compared to heart-rate monitoring in a multiethnic adult population?

P
Population
Multiethnic sample of adults (N = 180), age 19 to 86 years.
I
Intervention
Short- and long-form New Zealand Physical Activity Questionnaires (NZPAQ-SF and NZPAQ-LF)
C
Comparator
Heart-rate monitoring (HRM) with individual calibration and physical activity logs
O
Outcome
Correlation between self-reported physical activity on the NZPAQs and objective heart-rate monitoring datapatient reported

The New Zealand Physical Activity Questionnaires are acceptable instruments for measuring adult physical activity levels, though they may benefit from culturally specific examples to improve recall accuracy among Maori and Pacific people.
