The questionnaire comprises section on leisure time activity, household activity and work-related activity as follows : The observed effect of mode of administration on physical activity estimates is of concern and authors recommend that the telephone version of PASE be the method of first choice, furthermore they suggest that the mail questionnaire be used in a modified form with additional respondent instructions in order to clarify the proper categorisation of activities, thus reducing reporting error in the mail version. The questionnaire can be administered by mail or interview (telephone or in-person). Occupational, household and leisure activities are investigated by PASE, over a one-week period. It uses frequency, duration, and intensity level of activity over the previous week to assign a score, ranging from 0 to 793, with higher scores indicating greater physical activity. The PASE assesses the types of activities typically chosen by older adults (walking, recreational activities, exercise, housework, yard work, and caring for others. The PASE score combines information on leisure, household and occupational activity. Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) is a brief (5 minutes) and easily scored survey designed specifically to assess physical activity in epidemiological studies of persons age 65 years and older. PASE was initially developed in early 90s to provide an instrument to investigate specifically older people with an age-specific physical activity questionnaire, filling what was an important need in epidemiological research at that time. Īctivity questionnaires have been used in studies relating physical activity to fall and fracture risk, balance and gait characteristics, bone density, and coronary heart disease in older people. Ī physical activity questionnaire is a practical and widely used approach for physical activity assessment in epidemiologic investigations. The evidence shows that improving older patients physical ability, lifestyle behaviours and quality of life could promote building resilience and healthy ageing. The awareness regarding improving the physical activity of older adults has been growing among policymakers and healthcare professionals during the past few years.
