Description
Linfei Ye and a large team test in 2026 a Chinese version of a scale that asks pregnant women what stops them from being active. The work took place in China in late 2023 and drew 448 women who were expecting a child. The scale was translated by a set procedure once the first author gave consent.
The final form holds 28 items in four groups, and expert ratings scored each item high for fit. Factor checks kept the four groups, which together explained close to two thirds of the spread in answers. Repeat scores held steady over time, so the authors offer the scale as a sound tool for clinics and studies in China.
