At A Glance IPAQ Scoring Protocol - Short Forms

At A Glance IPAQ Scoring Protocol - Long Forms

This document describes recommended methods of scoring the data derived from the telephone

/ interview administered and self-administered IPAQ short and long form instruments. The

methods outlined provide a revision to earlier scoring protocols for the IPAQ short form and

provide for the first time a comparable scoring method for IPAQ long form. Latest versions of

IPAQ instruments are available from .

Although there are many different ways to analyse physical activity data, to date there is no

formal consensus on a „correct‟ method for defining or describing levels of physical activity based

on self-report population surveys. The use of different scoring protocols makes it very difficult to

compare within and between countries, even when the same instrument has been used. Use of

these scoring methods will enhance the comparability between surveys, provided identical

sampling and survey methods have been used.

2. Uses of IPAQ Instruments

IPAQ short form is an instrument designed primarily for population surveillance of physical

activity among adults. It has been developed and tested for use in adults (age range of 15-69

years) and until further development and testing is undertaken the use of IPAQ with older and

younger age groups is not recommended.

IPAQ short and long forms are sometimes being used as an evaluation tool in intervention

studies, but this was not the intended purpose of IPAQ. Users should carefully note the range of

domains and types of activities included in IPAQ before using it in this context. Use as an

outcome measure in small scale intervention studies is not recommended.

3. Summary Characteristics of IPAQ Short and Long Forms

1. IPAQ assesses physical activity undertaken across a comprehensive set of domains

including:

a. leisure time physical activity

b. domestic and gardening (yard) activities

c. work-related physical activity

d. transport-related physical activity;

The IPAQ short form asks about three specific types of activity undertaken in the four

domains introduced above. The specific types of activity that are assessed are walking,

moderate-intensity activities and vigorous-intensity activities.

The items in the short IPAQ form were structured to provide separate scores on walking,

moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity activity. Computation of the total score for the

short form requires summation of the duration (in minutes) and frequency (days) of walking,

moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity activities. Domain specific estimates cannot be

estimated.

The IPAQ long form asks details about the specific types of activities undertaken

within each of the four domains. Examples include walking for transportation and

moderate-intensity leisure-time activity.

The items in the long IPAQ form were structured to provide separate domain specific

scores for walking, moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity activity within each of the

work, transportation, domestic chores and gardening (yard) and leisure-time domains.

Computation of the total scores for the long form requires summation of the duration (in

minutes) and frequency (days) for all the types of activities in all domains. Domain

specific scores or activity specific subscores may be calculated. Domain specific scores

require summation of the scores for walking, moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity

activities within the specific domain, whereas activity-specific scores require summation

of the scores for the specific type of activity across domains.
