Thus, the purpose was to translate and culturally adapt (i) the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ); (ii) the Dietary Habits Questionnaire adapted from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) study; (iii) the Preclinical Mobility Limitation questionnaire for use in the Saudi Arabian context.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>50 adult Saudi participants (mean age 41.7\u00b19.6, 48% female) participated in this study. We followed a systematic cross-cultural adaptation process that involved forward translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert panel, and pre-testing (cognitive interviewing). Four rounds of cognitive interviews were held with 40 participants for the SBQ, SHARE questionnaire, and the Preclinical Mobility Limitation questionnaire, an additional round was needed for the Preclinical Mobility Limitation questionnaire. Descriptive data (means \u00b1 standard deviations and frequencies with percentages) were reported for characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>With some minor changes to the questionnaires, the SBQ, Dietary Habits, and Preclinical Mobility Limitation questionnaires were translated and cross-culturally adapted into Arabic. 100% of the participants confirmed that the resulting Arabic versions of the SBQ, Dietary Habits questionnaire, and Preclinical Mobility Limitation questionnaires were appropriate and fully understandable for Arabic speakers in communicating the intended meanings of the items in each. For example, item SBQ1, \u2018Watching television (including videos on VCR\/DVD)\u2019 was changed to \u2018Sitting and watching television or videos (including smartphones, tablets)\u2019.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The SBQ, Dietary Habits questionnaire, and Preclinical Mobility Limitation questionnaire were successfully cross-culturally adapted into Arabic and are now ready for use in Saudi Arabian.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0286375","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,12]],"date-time":"2023-06-12T17:27:01Z","timestamp":1686590821000},"page":"e0286375","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Arabic translation and cultural adaptation of sedentary behavior, dietary habits, and preclinical mobility limitation questionnaires: A cognitive interview study"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0458-2354","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Abdulrahman I.","family":"Alaqil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nidhi","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaima A.","family":"Alothman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3099-0389","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hazzaa M.","family":"Al-Hazzaa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Stamatakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Borja","family":"del Pozo Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0286375.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"l4570","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.l4570","article-title":"Dose-response associations between accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time and all cause mortality: systematic review and harmonised meta-analysis","volume":"366","author":"U Ekelund","year":"2019","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"pone.0286375.ref002","article-title":"Effects of sedentary behaviour interventions on biomarkers of cardiometabolic risk in adults: systematic review with meta-analyses","author":"NT Hadgraft","year":"2020","journal-title":"Br J Sports Med"},{"issue":"9","key":"pone.0286375.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e139","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000757","article-title":"Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics-2020 Update: A Report From the American Heart Association","volume":"141","author":"SS Virani","year":"2020","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"issue":"24","key":"pone.0286375.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1451","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2020-102955","article-title":"World Health Organization 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour","volume":"54","author":"FC Bull","year":"2020","journal-title":"Br J Sports Med"},{"issue":"Suppl 2","key":"pone.0286375.ref005","first-page":"S5","article-title":"The global burden of cardiovascular disease","volume":"10","author":"C Deaton","year":"2011","journal-title":"Eur J Cardiovasc Nurs"},{"issue":"9","key":"pone.0286375.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"811","DOI":"10.1007\/s10654-018-0380-1","article-title":"Sedentary behaviour and risk of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer mortality, and incident type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and dose response meta-analysis","volume":"33","author":"R Patterson","year":"2018","journal-title":"Eur J Epidemiol"},{"issue":"10051","key":"pone.0286375.ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1302","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)30370-1","article-title":"Does physical activity attenuate, or even eliminate, the detrimental association of sitting time with mortality?
