Physical Activity Incentive Program for Older People: Cost-Utility and Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs)
Description
This dataset refers to the study “Physical Activity Incentive Program for Older People: Cost-Utility and Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs)”, published in the Pan-American Journal of Aging Research (PAJAR). Data were collected over 12 months from 300 older adults (≥60 years) enrolled in the PIAFI program, including attendance records for exercise sessions, quarterly health reassessments, quality of life measures (EQ-5D), functional independence (CPF), physical activity level (IPAQ), and costs of program implementation. These data enabled the calculation of QALYs, cost-utility, and program effectiveness, demonstrating positive impacts on quality of life, functional independence, and healthcare cost reduction.

This dataset refers to the study “Physical Activity Incentive Program for Older People: Cost-Utility and Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs)”, published in the Pan-American Journal of Aging Research (PAJAR). Data were collected over 12 months from 300 older adults (≥60 years) enrolled in the PIAFI program, including attendance records for exercise sessions, quarterly health reassessments, quality of life measures (EQ-5D), functional independence (Composite Physical Function – CPF), physical activity level (IPAQ), and program implementation costs. These data enabled the calculation of QALYs, cost-utility, and program effectiveness, showing positive impacts on quality of life, functional independence, and healthcare cost reductionSteps to Reproduce Recruit older adults (≥60 years) living independently, according to inclusion criteria. Conduct baseline health assessment (physical, functional, laboratory tests, and questionnaires). Enroll participants in the Physical Activity Incentive Program (PIAFI), with supervised sessions 2–5 times per week. Monitor attendance at all sessions and perform quarterly reassessments (3, 6, 9, and 12 months). Apply measurement tools: EQ-5D (quality of life), Composite Physical Function Scale (CPF), and IPAQ for older adults. Record implementation and operational costs, including human resources, materials, and services. Calculate QALYs by multiplying utility scores by proportional time, and estimate cost-utility based on expenditures and QALYs gained..
