| Popis: | Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the agreement between the weight of older adults measured on a chair scale and a platform scale. Methods This is a cross-sectional study. We evaluated 131 older adults (?60 years old), walk-in patients, admitted to a university hospital. Weight was measured on a digital chair scale model MS5811 (Charder® brand) and after on a mechanical platform scale (Filizola® brand). For the agreement analysis, the intraclass correlation coefficient and the Bland-Altman plot were used. Results Most of the sample consisted of males individuals (57.3%; n= 75). The average age was 70.47±7.59 years (60-96 years old). Measured by both methods, weight showed normal distribution. The average weight measured was 67.99±14.03 kg on the chair scale and 68.04±14.02 kg on the platform scale. The intraclass correlation coefficient of weight measured by the two methods was 1.00 (IC95%=1.00-1.00; p |
