Test: Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) Year: 1993 Domain: Biological Assessment Tool Category: Physical Function Variations/Translations: Japanese Setting: Home Method of Delivery: Telephone Interview Description: Physical activity questionnaire developed with a grant from the U. S. National Institute on Aging. Designed to assess current level of activity (occupational, household and leisure) of community-dwelling older persons, aged 65 and older, through self report of a one week period. The older adult is asked how many days per week, and how much time was spent in each activity over the past week, graded in four categories: less than one hour, one but less than two hours, two to four hours and more than four hours. Was designed for epidemiological studies and exercise interventions, and can be administered by telephone, mail or in person. Scoring/Interpretation: Amount of time spent in each activity multiplied by PASE item weights & adding all scores together for a final PASE score. A high score indicates a high level of physical activity. Time to Administer: 5 to 15 minutes
