OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a specific instrument to measure lifestyle of @entity6 ( @entity4989 ) @entity1 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: A longitudinal, observational, prospective study was conducted between March 2001 and April 2002 at family medicine healthcare units of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (Mexican Institute of Social Security (MISS)) in Mexico State's East District. A self-administered instrument (instrument to measure @entity6 lifestyles, IMEVID) was designed to measure the lifestyles of @entity6 @entity1 . It was submitted for review by a multidisciplinary group of experts who assessed its logical and content validity to measure the lifestyle in @entity4989 @entity1 . The instrument was administered on two different days to 412 adult subjects with @entity4989 . Some items were excluded on the basis of the frequency with which their answer choices were selected, as well as the item-total correlation, and the item's significant loads in several domains in factorial analysis. RESULTS: The sample population consisted of 389 (94.7% response) subjects who completed the study. Intraclass correlation coefficients for logical and content validity were 0.91 and 0.95 respectively. After depuration of items, the instrument had 25 closed items grouped in 7 domains: nutrition, physical activity, @entity286 consumption, @entity167 consumption, information on @entity6 , and therapeutic adherence. The global rating of the questionnaire had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.81 and a test-retest correlation coefficient of 0.84. CONCLUSIONS: The specific questionnaire IMEVID is the first to measure the lifestyle in subjects with @entity4989 . It has logical validity, content validity, and a good level of consistency.
