Relation of PA (min/wk and MET-min/wk) from the HPAQ to PA records (PAR) for four consecutive days while wearing Caltrac accelerometers (Spearman correlations)

Rundle et al. 2007⁽¹⁰²⁾

Physical activity index (PAI) derived from 3 HAAS questions on walking, climbing stairs and leisure time activity and total weekly activity (TWA) compared to demographic factors. (T tests and analysis of variance Separate linear regression analyses were performed with blood pressure and BMI)

87 Female mean age 37.9 (±10.12) years 105 Male mean age 39.9 (±10.23) years

	PAI-1 (kcal/week)	PAI-2 (kcal/week)	TWA
Overall age	p = 0.01	p = 0.01	p = 0.39
Gender	p = 0.01	p = 0.001	p = 0.06
Ethnicity	p = 0.58	p = 0.69	p = 0.03
BMI	p = 0.58	P for trend = 0.64	P for trend = 0.03
Diastolic blood pressure mean	P for trend = 0.60	P for trend = 0.17	P for trend = 0.07
Systolic blood pressure mean	P for trend = 0.36	P for trend = 0.11	P for trend = 0.06

Winters-Hart et al. 2004⁽¹¹²⁾

(HPAQ) used by participants to recall in PA they performed in 1982, 1985, 1995 and 2000; compared to actual PAQ collected in those years. (Spearman rank order correlation)

163 white women mean age 74 ± 4 years

HPAQ
	Original PAQ
1982	0.39*
1985	0.45*
1995	0.57*
2000	0.62*
