- | 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. | ||

- | * 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 inactive through to most active, except for physical activity during the working day which categorises people into four groups // | ||

- | Cohort members reported whether or not they participated in any such activities, how many occasions in the last four weeks they had done these activities and the number of occasions on which exercise made them sweaty or out of breath. These variables were used to derive a three-category variable //(EXER99X / EXER15X)// equivalent to similar variables on sports and recreational activity at ages 36 and 43 years. | ||

- | 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. | ||
