Background: The assessment of active aging levels in Pakistani older adults is crucial yet; research tools are scarce in the local language. Therefore, this study aims to translate and validate the English version of an Active Aging Scale into a cross-culturally sensitive Urdu version to assess active aging levels in Pakistani older adults. Methods: To translate and validate the scale, we used the ISPOR (International Society for Pharmacy Economic and Outcome Research) standards. Reliability, concurrent validity, construct validity, convergent validity, and discriminatory validity were checked on a total sample of 160 community-dwelling older adults. After two weeks, the test–retest reliability was examined. AMOS version 23 and SPSS version 23 were used to analyze the data. Results: The average content validity index for clarity was 0.91 and relevancy was 0.80. The total variance in the pilot study of all items secured > 0.3 variances except for two items scored < 0.30 that were omitted before the validity and reliability test. The remaining items explained 65.46% of the overall variation and had factor loadings ranging from 0.46 to 0.90 in the principal factor analysis (PFA). The confirmatory factor analysis of the Active Aging Scale revealed that the model fit was good with a Chi-square value (418.18 (DF = 2.2) which is less than 3.00. This is further evidenced by the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) of 0.042, goodness of fit index (GFI) of 0.92, adjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI) of 0.94, and comparative fit index (CFI) values of 0.92 and 0.96 (unstandardized and standardized, respectively). The scale's Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.88, indicating dependability and its test–retest reliability with the significance of (P. < 0.05). Conclusion: The Urdu version of the Active Aging Scale was successfully translated and validated in a culturally sensitive manner, and can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of various active aging interventions for older adults in Pakistan.
