ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether a 4-month physical activity (PA) group program and visits to sociocultural organizations improve emotional state, social support levels and health-related quality of life in elderly individuals with depression and/or anxiety and/or loneliness. METHODS: This will be a multicentre, randomized, two-group clinical trial with a 1-year follow-up. Participants will be 150 primary care patients aged >64 years allocated equally to a control group and an intervention group. Inclusion criteria are Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) score ≥14 and/or General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale score ≥10 and/or Duke-UNC-11 scale score ≥32. The intervention group will participate in a 4-month group PA program. The program will comprise two walks per week and a monthly visit to a sociocultural facility. RESULTS: Measured outcomes are clinical remission of depression (BDI-II score <14) and anxiety (GAD-7 scale score <10), improved social support (reduction in DUKE-UNC-11 score), improved quality of life and/or response to the intervention at 4 and 12 months post-intervention. Intervention satisfaction and adherence and post-intervention links with sociocultural organizations will also be assessed. CONCLUSION: The findings could encourage the provision of activity-based community interventions for older individuals.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to develop and validate a shorter version (VREM) of the Spanish version of the Minnesota leisure time Physical Activity Questionnaire (CAFM), in order to have a shorter physical activity questionnaire to be used in Primary Care. METHODS: Descriptive study of validation of a new physical activity measurement questionnaire. 200 patients older than 50, who visited one of 5 primary care centers in Barcelona for any reason were selected, with age-sex Catalonia's distribution. Two phases: first, VREM construction through items reduction. Second, validity of VREM against CAFM (gold standard) and test-retest reliability of VREM were analyzed, using kappa index and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS: 6 items were included in the VREM: Walking, Gardening, Sport/dancing, Climbing stairs, Shopping walking and Cleaning house. The interview using VREM lasted 5 minutes (standard deviation 2). Agreement between both questionnaires, using 4 levels of physical activity, was 95.5% (kappa=0.93). Test-retest reliability of the questionnaire was 92.5% (kappa=0.88). Using a continuous outcome in metabolic energy turnover (MET), VREM also proved to be valid and reliable (ICC=0.95 and ICC=0.96 respectively). CONCLUSION: This short version of CAFM has shown good validity and reliability in people ≥50 years.

Fundamentos: con el fin de disponer de una versión breve y en españoldel Cuestionario de Actividad Física en el tiempo libre de Minnesota (CAFM) para poder utilizarlo en atención primaria, el objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la elaboración de la versión reducida (VREM) y su validación. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de validación del cuestionario, realizada en cinco centros de Atención Primaria de Barcelona. Se seleccionaron 200 sujetos igual o mayores de 50 años que consultaron por cualquier motivo, con una distribución por edad y sexo similar a la de la población de Cataluña . Dos fases: primera, se construyó el VREM mediante reducción del número de ítems. Segunda, se evaluó su validez de criterio respecto al CAFM (referencia) y la fiabilidad test-retest mediante el índice kappa y el coeficiente de correlación intraclase (CCI). Resultados: Los 6 ítems incluidos en el VREM fueron: caminar, trabajar el huerto, hacer deporte o bailar, subir escaleras, ir a comprar a pie y limpiar la casa. La duración de la entrevista mediante el VREM fue de 5 minutos (desviación estándar 2). La validez de criterio entre ambos cuestionarios, usando 4 categorías de actividad física, fue del 95,5% (kappa=0,93). La fiabilidad test-retest del cuestionario fue del 92,5% (kappa=0,88). Usando un resultado continuo en forma de metabolic energy turnover (MET) el VREM también mostró una alta validez y fiabilidad (CCI=0,95 y CCI=0,96 respectivamente). Conclusiones: La versión reducida del CAFM es válida y fiable en población mayor o igual a 50 años(AU)
