目的：为了比较从四个身体活动（PA）测量仪器，在澳大利亚和世界各地使用的结果的协议水平：1,280随机选择的参与者回答了两组PA的问题通过电话。428人回答了澳大利亚活动（AA）和国家健康调查，427人回答了AA和CDC行为风险因素监测系统调查（BRFSS），425人回答了AA调查和简短的国际体力活动问卷（IPAQ）。在三对调查项目中，当问AA和NHS项目时，平均总PA时间的差异最小（差异=24）（SE：17）分钟，而AA/BRFSS为144（SE：21）分钟，AA/IPAQ为406（SE：27）分钟）。相应地，AA和NHS的“充分活动”患病率估计值相似（分别为56%和55%），但与AA调查的估计值相比，使用BRFSS数据时高出约10%，使用IPAQ项目时高出约26%。研究结果清楚地表明，报告的PA时间存在很大差异，因此这四项指标对“足够活动”的患病率估计也存在很大差异。影响：重要的是要始终使用相同的调查人口监测的目的。由于AA调查现已在国家调查中使用过三次，因此建议在人口调查中继续使用该调查，以便能够建立更长时期的趋势数据。
Objective: To compare the level of agreement in results obtained from four physical activity (PA) measurement instruments that are in use in Australia and around the world.Methods: 1,280 randomly selected participants answered two sets of PA questions by telephone. 428 answered the Active Australia (AA) and National Health Surveys, 427 answered the AA and CDC Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys (BRFSS), and 425 answered the AA survey and the short International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).Results: Among the three pairs of survey items, the difference in mean total PA time was lowest when the AA and NHS items were asked (difference=24) (SE:17) minutes, compared with 144 (SE:21) mins for AA/BRFSS and 406 (SE:27) mins for AA/IPAQ). Correspondingly, prevalence estimates for 'sufficiently active' were similar for AA and NHS (56% and 55% respectively), but about 10% higher when BRFSS data were used, and about 26% higher when the IPAQ items were used, compared with estimates from the AA survey.Conclusions: The findings clearly demonstrate that there are large differences in reported PA times and hence in prevalence estimates of 'sufficient activity' from these four measures. Implications: It is important to consistently use the same survey for population monitoring purposes. As the AA survey has now been used three times in national surveys, its continued use for population surveys is recommended so that trend data ever a longer period of time can be established.
