Data on PA and SED are often self-reported in clinical practice and, hence, reliable and valid questionnaires are crucial. This study aimed to assess the test\u2013retest reliability, criterion validity and agreement of two PA and one SED questionnaire commonly used in clinical practice, developed by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare (BHW) and the Swedish national quality register SWEDEHEART. Data from 57 patients (mean age 66 \u00b1 9.2 years, 42 males) was included in this multi-centre study. The patients answered three questionnaires on PA and SED at seven-day intervals and wore an accelerometer for seven days. Test\u2013retest reliability, criterion validity and agreement were assessed using Spearman\u2019s rho and linearly weighted kappa. Test\u2013retest reliability was moderate for three of the six-sub questions (k = 0.43\u20130.54) within the PA questionnaires. For criterion validity, the correlation was fair within three of the six sub-questions (r = 0.41\u20130.50) within the PA questionnaires. The SED questionnaire had low agreement (k = 0.12) and criterion validity (r = 0.30). The studied questionnaires for PA could be used in clinical practice as a screening tool and\/or to evaluate the level of PA in patients with an MI. Future research is recommended to develop and\/or evaluate SED questionnaires in patients with an MI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20166579","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,15]],"date-time":"2023-08-15T11:15:08Z","timestamp":1692098108000},"page":"6579","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Test\u2013Retest Reliability, Agreement and Criterion Validity of Three Questionnaires for the Assessment of Physical Activity and Sedentary Time in Patients with Myocardial Infarction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Marcus","family":"Bargholtz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Lindesberg Hospital, 711 82 Lindesberg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madeleine","family":"Brosved","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, 413 45 Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katarina","family":"Heimburg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences Lund, Neurology, Skane University Hospital, Lund University, 222 42 Lund, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie","family":"Hellmark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Orebro University Hospital, 701 85 Orebro, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margret","family":"Leosdottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Skane University Hospital, 214 28 Malmo, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences Malmo, Lund University, 214 28 Malmo, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4607-8677","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Hagstr\u00f6mer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Division of Physiotherapy, Karolinska Institutet, 171 77 Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Academic Primary Health Care Centre, Region Stockholm, 113 65 Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"B\u00e4ck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, 413 45 Gothenburg, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Medical and Health Sciences, Division of Physiotherapy, Linkoping University, 581 83 Linkoping, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"WHO (2023, March 02).
