Summary Results

Ekelund et al. 2006⁽⁸¹⁾

Relation of IPAQ-short 7 day form (MET-min day(-1) to accelerometer worn for seven consecutive days (counts min(-1)) (correlation and partial correlation; linear regression)

98 females, 87 males 20 to 69 years

IPAQ-7d
	Accelerometry
Total PA	0.34

p < 0.001

Fogelholm et al. 2006⁽⁸²⁾

IPAQ-short form PA levels grouped into 5 categories (estimated total METs), compared to VO2max by ergometer using ANOVA

951 men, aged 21-43 years.

Mean fitness (VO2max) improved from the first through the fourth IPAQ quartiles (P < 0.05), VO2max in highest category IPAQ group was lower than in the fourth group (P<0.05).

Kolbe-Alexander et al. 2006⁽⁹¹⁾

Yale Physical Activity Survey (YPAS) and the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) were compared to accelerometers (CSA monitor)

52 men mean age 68 ± 5.4 years, and 70 women mean age 66 ± 5.8 years.

IPAQ vs. CSA
	Men	Women
Walking- time moderate	0.56*	0.32**
Walking-Total counts	0.57$	0.42#

** p = 0.011
$ p = 0.00007
# p = 0.0006

Macfarlane et al. 2007⁽⁹⁴⁾

IPAQ-C short version compared to activity log (PA-log) MET min week -1, and an MTI accelerometer min week -1 (Pearson r)

19 female 30 male Chinese residents ages 15-55 years;

PA-Log
	IPAQ-C (walking) R²	IPAQ-C (walking+mod) R²
Light	0.01
Moderate		0.40
MTI
Light	0.81*
Moderate		0.78*

* p < 0.01
