From the perspective of multi-theory model, factors influencing physical activity among community-dwelling older adults with type 2 diabetes in China: a mixed-methods study

by Huai, P., Zhang, B., Sun, J., Xu, R., Zhang, L., Qiao, X., Sun, W., Yang, H., Guo, J., and Su, H. (2025). Front. Public Health. 13:1634294. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2025.1634294

There was a mistake in Figure 1 as published. In the measure tool of the Quantitative study, the “(2) the Measuring Change in Physical Activity Questionnaire” was not included. The corrected Figure 1 appears below.

Figure 1
Flowchart depicting a mixed-methods study on older adults with type 2 diabetes. It includes two main sections: qualitative and quantitative studies. The qualitative study involves 13 participants and uses thematic analysis and topic modeling. The quantitative study involves 1,119 participants using questionnaires. Both studies link to their respective results, which then merge into a mixed-methods finding, identifying factors influencing physical activity.

We found that in 2.3.2 Measures, there is a lack of an introduction to “Measuring Change in Physical Activity Questionnaire.”

A correction has been made to the section 2.3.2 Measures as follows:

2.3.2.2 Measuring change in physical activity questionnaire

Intentions to engage in physical activity were evaluated using the Measuring Change in Physical Activity Questionnaire (MCPAQ). It was originally developed in English based on the MTM construct by Sharma (62). The higher the scores of changes in physical activity, the greater the likelihood of conducting physical activity behavior change. Yang et al. (63) obtained authorization from the original authors of the MCPAQ and conducted a cross-cultural adaptation to develop a Chinese version of the scale. This version was validated in hypertensive patients and demonstrated good reliability and validity: Cronbach's alpha was 0.911 for the overall scale. The scale is considered broadly applicable across diverse populations.

The original version of this article has been updated.
