Activity Measurec | Sensitivity, % | Specificity, % | Positive Predictive Value, % | Negative Predictive Value, % |
RAPA | 81 | 69 | 77 | 75 |
BRFSS | 70 | 73 | 78 | 65 |
PACE | 75 | 63 | 71 | 67 |
RAPA flexibility | 85 | 62 | 87 | 58 |
RAPA strength | 89 | 84 | 88 | 86 |
RAPA indicates Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity; BRFSS, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System; PACE, Patient-centered Assessment and Counseling for Exercise; CHAMPS, Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors.
Defined as total of 5 days per week or more and total of 3 or more hours per week of all moderate-intensity physical activities (metabolic equivalent values [METs] 3.0–4.9) or total of 3 days per week or more and total of 1 or more hours per week of all vigorous-intensity physical activities (METs ≥ 5.0).
Strength and flexibility assessed only in the CHAMPS and RAPA.
N = 115 for all comparisons except strength (n = 113).
