Background: Systematic data on physical activity level in Indian kidney transplanted patients are limited. Physical activity is considered an essential part of healthy life style for all population including kidney transplant recipients. The International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ) is internationally accepted self-reported screening tool for assessment of physical activity. However, till date Gujarati and Hindi version of IPAQ is not validated for Indian kidney transplant recipients. Aim: To validate the Gujarati and Hindi translated version of IPAQ long form in Indian kidney transplant recipients. Method: Original English version of IPAQ-long form was translated in Gujarati and Hindi language and evaluated for face, construct, concurrent validity and test retest reliability among Gujarati and Hindi transplant recipients. Result: 4 questions out of 27 were modified with 80% consensus of panelist to achieve face validity of both version of questionnaire. Total physical activity score of Gujarati (r=0.83) and Hindi (r=0.72) version were positively correlated with 6MWD in male transplant patients suggesting accepted construct validity. There was high positive correlation noted between all component of English, Gujarati and Hindi version (r>0.8, p<0.05) having good concurrent validity and acceptable test retest reliability. Conclusion: The modified Gujarati and Hindi version of IPAQ long form showed acceptable validity and reliability for the assessment of physical activity among kidney transplant recipients.
