Evidence has shown relationships between physical activity (PA) and cognitive function (CF) in older adults. Yet, there is little research comparing subjective measures PA (SMPA, CHAMPS questionnaire) and objective measures of PA (SMPA, accelerometry) in older adults, 65 years+. Thus, the primary PURPOSE of this study is to examine the validity of the CHAMPS questionnaire and accelerometry data to assess PA in older adults 65 years+. The secondary purpose of this study is to determine if SMPA or SMPA is a better predictor of CF. METHODS: In sixty-five older adults (age: 77.1±7.9 years) we examined the relationship between SMPA and OMPA using partial correlations (controlling for age, gender, and BMI). Hierarchical regression was utilized to determine if SMPA or OMPA was a better predictor of CF. RESULTS: Both total and moderate-to-vigorous intensity (MVPA) OMPA and SMPA were correlated (p< 0.05). CF was correlated with: counts/min (r=0.38, p<0.01), OMPA MVPA (r=0.40, p<0.001), and sedentary:moderate minutes/day (r= -0.53, p<0.0001). Sedentary:moderate ratio, MVPA, and sedentary minutes/day contribute (p < 0.05) to predicting CF. CONCLUSIONS: This suggests that the CHAMPS questionnaire may serve as an acceptable proxy for OMPA. Our findings also show that OMPA is superior to SMPA for the prediction of CF.
