随着年龄的增长，身体活动（PA）是保持健康和幸福的核心。有效、可靠的测量工具对于理解和评估PA至关重要。目前，全面、准确、经济地测量老年人PA的方法有限。我们的目标是开发一个数字PA测量工具，专门为65岁以上的成年人使用基于个人的方法。我们整理了来自目标用户，领域专家和相关文献的证据，以了解老年人如何理解PA并接受数字工具。研究结果表明，老年人的PA往往融入他们的日常生活活动，通常使用的术语（例如，适度和剧烈）可能难以解释。我们还发现，老年人越来越熟悉数字平台，并且重视技术的简单性。这些发现为数字工具的开发提供了信息，该工具要求用户报告他们在过去7天内在PA关键领域和维度上的活动。用户发现该工具易于操作，在活动报告方面也很全面。然而，真实世界的可用性测试显示，用户在七天的回忆中挣扎。在开始验证这一新工具之前，将进一步开展工作，解决已查明的问题，包括创建一个单日报告选项。
Physical activity (PA) is central to maintaining health and wellbeing as we age. Valid, reliable measurement tools are vital for understanding, and evaluating PA. There are limited options for comprehensively, accurately and affordably measuring older adults’ PA at scale at present. We aimed to develop a digital PA measurement tool specifically for adults aged 65+ using a person-based approach. We collated evidence from target users, field experts and the relevant literature to learn how older adults comprehend PA and would accept a digital tool. Findings suggest that older adults’ PA is often integrated into their daily life activities and that commonly applied terminology (e.g., moderate and vigorous) can be difficult to interpret. We also found that there is increasing familiarity with digital platforms amongst older adults, and that technological simplicity is valued. These findings informed the development of a digital tool that asks users to report their activities across key PA domains and dimensions from the previous 7-days. Users found the tool easy to navigate and comprehensive in terms of activity reporting. However, real-world usability testing revealed that users struggled with seven-day recall. Further work will address the identified issues, including creating a single-day reporting option, before commencing work to validate this new tool.
