abstract = {Sedentary behavior (SB) is influenced by variations in social, cultural and economic contexts. This study assesses the test–retest reliability and validity of the Youth Leisure-time Sedentary
Behavior Questionnaire (YLSBQ), a self-report tool that examines total and domain-specific SB in a
cohort of young adults from Colombia. A cross-sectional validation study was conducted among 447
Colombian college students (52.8% men; mean (± standard deviation) age of 19.55 ± 2.54 years). To
assess the reliability of the YLSBQ, Kappa statistics (k) were used. A confirmatory factor analysis
(CFA) was conducted to determine validity. The Cronbach alpha for the 12 behaviors of the YLSBQ
showed a good-to-excellent internal consistency (0.867, ranging from 0.715–0.935). Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) indicated that 10 items (83.0%) and two items (17.0%) showed excellent
and good reliability, respectively. Furthermore, ICC between the total sedentary time was 0.926 (95%
confidence interval [CI] = 0.912 − 0.939), which was interpreted as excellent. The goodness-of-fit
tests provided evidence that overall, a four-factor solution was an adequate fit with the time scores.
In conclusion, the YLSBQ could be considered a reliable, valid and usable tool for the assessment of
SB in young adults in a Latin American country. We found that the psychometric properties of the
questionnaire were similar to those of the original Spanish validation study.},
