Systematic review of physical activity questionnaires in people over 65 years old

The practice of physical activity in the population over 65 years of age is a growing concern in different countries. The aim of the present study was to carry out a systematic review of the questionnaires for measuring PA and mobility that include this population. The PRISMA Statement has been followed to carry out this review. The inclusion criteria that have been established are: (1) Articles whose sample included persons over 65 years of age; (2) Research using questionnaires validated and/or used in Spanish studies for the analysis of PA; (3) Studies whose subjects did not suffer from any pathology. The key words: "physical activity", "questionnaire" and "senior citizen" were searched in the Web of Science and PUBMED databases. A total of 17 papers were found, which make up the sample of the present study. The results conclude that the most commonly used questionnaires are IPAQ, CHAMPS and PASE.
