The feasibility and acceptability of questionnaires and accelerometry for measuring physical activity and sedentary behaviour in adults with XXXX .

@entity1 @entity1032
BACKGROUND: Adults with @entity1032 may have difficulties with data collection methods such as questionnaires and accelerometry. AIMS: To assess the utility of questionnaires and accelerometry for assessing physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) in non-institutionalised adults with @entity1032 . METHODS: @entity1 were recruited from outpatient clinics and community organisations. @entity1 completed PA and SB questionnaires, wore accelerometers for 7   d, and rated the ease/difficulty of completing study components. Recruitment numbers, adherence, and ease/difficulty ratings were examined. Ease/difficulty ratings were compared between study components, and between @entity1 by distress level. RESULTS: One hundred forty-two @entity1 completed the questionnaires; they found it easier to report PA than reclining time (p   =   0.017), and reclining time than sitting time (p   <   0.001). @entity1 with high distress found it more difficult to report sitting time and PA than @entity1 with low distress (p   <   0.017). Ninety-nine @entity1 (70%) completed the accelerometry; the majority (88%) met the minimum wear-time criteria. They found it easier to wear the monitor during the day than while sleeping (p   <   0.001), and easier to complete accelerometry than questionnaires (p   <   0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Accelerometry was more feasible for assessing SB than questionnaires. Questionnaires were feasible for assessing PA, but less acceptable for @entity1 experiencing high distress.
