Abstrakt:	Aims: To assign care time to the activities collected in the Dependency Assessment Scale (BVD) and to analyse the relationship between care time and the score received on the BVD. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study of 148 dependent persons was carried out. Socioeconomic and clinical data, the BVD, the 6-dimensional dependency indicator (DEP-6D), as well as data from a diary with the time of care received, were collected. The median time needed to carry out the activities included in the BVD was estimated from the diary. Following the BVD methodology, those who had their mental functions affected were separated. Each person was assigned two scores, one based on BVD and the other based on the time that the caregivers spent to care for them. The correlation between the two was estimated, and a regression was performed to identify the main explanatory factors for the disparity between the two indicators. Results: BVD and hours of care show a moderate positive correlation. The mental impairment of the dependent person increased the time of care in most activities. The regression analysis suggests that while mental impairment is the main explanatory factor of obtaining a higher assessment with care time than with BVD, being bedridden is the main predictor of having a higher sore with the BVD. Conclusions: The construct that underlies BVD is moderately related to care time. Future research must contrast the robustness of these results and address whether the normative criteria that underlie the BVD is aligned with the weights that characterise it.
