dc.description.abstract | Background: The elderly EXERNET multi-centre study aims to collect normative anthropometric data for old functionally
independent adults living in Spain.Purpose: To describe the standardization process and reliability of the anthropometric measurements carried out in the
pilot study and during the final workshop, examining both intra- and inter-rater errors for measurements.Materials and Methods: A total of 98 elderly from five different regions participated in the intra-rater error assessment, and
10 different seniors living in the city of Toledo (Spain) participated in the inter-rater assessment. We examined both intra-
and inter-rater errors for heights and circumferences.Results: For height, intra-rater technical errors of measurement (TEMs) were smaller than 0.25 cm. For circumferences and
knee height, TEMs were smaller than 1 cm, except for waist circumference in the city of Ca´ceres. Reliability for heights and
circumferences was greater than 98% in all cases. Inter-rater TEMs were 0.61 cm for height, 0.75 cm for knee-height and
ranged between 2.70 and 3.09 cm for the circumferences measured. Inter-rater reliabilities for anthropometric
measurements were always higher than 90%.Conclusion: The harmonization process, including the workshop and pilot study, guarantee the quality of the
anthropometric measurements in the elderly EXERNET multi-centre study. High reliability and low TEM may be expected
when assessing anthropometry in elderly population. | es_ES |
