Abstract
Purpose: There are not many questionnaires that have proven validity and reliability in evaluating the level of physical activity in older patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In clinical and scientific studies, it is important to quickly determine the physical activity level of patients in terms of time management. The aim of the study was to examine the validity of the rapid assessment of physical activity (RAPA) questionnaire in older patients with COPD.
