TLDR
The EVS has the potential to provide information about the relationship between exercise and health care use, cost, and chronic disease that has not been previously available at the population level and may provide more conservative estimates of PA behavior when compared with national surveys.Abstract:
PurposeThe objective of this study is to describe the face and discriminant validity of an exercise vital sign (EVS) for use in an outpatient electronic medical record.MethodsEligible patients were 1,793,385 adults 18 yr and older who were members of a large health care system in Southern Caread more
