Translation and Psychometric Properties of the Persian Version of the Older Adult Lifestyle Scale

Existing Western lifestyle assessment instruments often lack cultural relevance for non‐Western populations, including Iran. This study aimed to translate and assess the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Older Adult Lifestyle Scale (P‐OALS) among community‐dwelling older adults in Iran.
