- | Self-reported information on adult physical activity levels has been collected at ages 31, 36, 43, 53, 60-64 and 68-70 years. | ||
- | |||
- | At ages 36 and 43, questions on the frequency and duration of participation in a range of leisure time activities and sports, outdoor activities and exercise (including work-related activity) in the previous month were collected by nurse interviewers during home visits. | ||
- | |||
- | Using data at age 36 years ([[questionnaires: | ||
- | |||
- | * physical activity during the working day | ||
- | * cycling and walking | ||
- | * heavy gardening and DIY | ||
- | * sports and recreational activities | ||
- | |||
- | Each of these variables categorises people into three groups from most active through to least active, except for physical activity during the working day which categorises people into four groups, with more details of how these categories are assigned given in the variable descriptions below. | ||
- | |||
- | At age 43 years a similar summary variable was derived for sports and recreational activities. | ||
- | |||
- | These derived variables have been recoded so that 0 is always least active, 1 is less active and 2 is most active (except for the physical activity during the working day variable, where an additional variable has been created to be coded in the same way but the 4 category variable is also available). | ||
- | |||
- | In 1999 and 2014-15, at age 53 and 68-69, a single, 3 part question on participation in sports, vigorous leisure activities or any exercises in spare time not including getting to and from work in the past 4 weeks was asked as part of the CAPI interview. | ||
- | |||
- | In 2006-10, at age 60-64, study members were asked to complete a pre-assessment questionnaire. This contained questions on physical activity associated with work and commuting, as well as frequency of a range of activities, such as sports, gym, team games, DIY, gardening and household chores in the last 12 months. | ||
- | |||
- | In 2015, at age 69, study members were given the option to complete and wear an accelerometer for 7 days. The activity questionnaire included questions on typical levels of activity, frequency of various activities, past activity, falls, joints and bones. | ||
