We apply and validate the Multidimensional Dyspnoea Profile (MDP) in a sample of adults 75\u2005years and older in Belgium.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Breathlessness was rated with the MDP, the modified Borg Dyspnoea Scale (mBDS), the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB, a numerical rating scale for intensity and unpleasantness both before and after exertion), as well as with the Medical Research Council (MRC) Dyspnoea Scale. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) assessed the affective status. Factor structure was analysed with exploratory principal components analysis, internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha and concurrent validity with Spearman's correlation coefficients with other breathlessness scales, HADS and SPPB scores.<\/jats:p><jats:p>In 96 participants (mean age 85\u2005years; 34% men) who rated breathlessness at both assessment points, exploratory principal components analysis identified two components: Immediate Perception (IP) and Emotional Reaction (ER), explaining most of the MDP item variance (65.37% before and 71.32% after exertion). Internal consistency was moderate to high for MDP-IP (Cronbach's alpha = 0.86 before and 0.89 after exertion) and MDP-ER (Cronbach's alpha = 0.89 before and 0.91 after exertion). The correlation patterns of MDP-IP and MDP-ER with other tests confirmed concurrent validity.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The domain structure, reliability and concurrent validity of MDP for breathlessness before and after exertion were confirmed in a sample of adults 75\u2005years and older, supporting its use and further research for the multidimensional profiling of breathlessness in older adults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1183\/23120541.00606-2020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,6]],"date-time":"2020-11-06T22:09:05Z","timestamp":1604700545000},"page":"00606-2020","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1183\/ers-crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Validity and reliability of the Multidimensional Dyspnoea Profile in older adults"],"prefix":"10.1183","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7580-3743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eralda","family":"Hegend\u00f6rfer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Doukhopelnikoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Marie","family":"Degryse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"81","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024101710575058000_7.2.00606-2020.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afu001"},{"key":"2024101710575058000_7.2.00606-2020.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Mahler DA , Fierro-Carrion G , Baird JC .
