| 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. | 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 //(EXWORK82)//. The three-category variables are grouped as: |

| | * No such activity in the past four weeks |
| | * One - four times in the past four weeks |
| | * Five or more times in the past four weeks |

| 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). | 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 //(EXWORK82C)// has been created to be coded in the same way but the 4 category variable is also available). |

| | In [[questionnaires:1999|1999]] and [[questionnaires:2015|2014-16]], at age 53 and 68-70, a single, three-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 four weeks, was asked as part of the CAPI interview. |
| | 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 / EXER1415X)// equivalent to similar variables on sports and recreational activity at ages 36 and 43 years. |

| 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. Cohort members reported whether or not they participated in any such activities, how many occasions in the last 4 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 3 category variable equivalent to similar variables on sports and recreational activity at ages 36 and 43 years. | \\ |

| | In [[questionnaires:2009|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 undertaking a range of activities, such as sports, gym, team games, DIY, gardening and household chores in the last 12 months. Study members were also invited to wear a CamNtech Actiheart monitor for seven days. The Actiheart has two clips which attach directly to standard ECG electrodes and was worn on the chest. It was used to measure activity levels and heart rates. |

| 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. The accelerometer, Gulf Coast Data Concepts X16-1C, was worn on the hip and was used to measured movement and impact of activity during habitual physical activity. A time sheet was also completed, so the time the monitor was not worn could be documented. | In [[questionnaires:2015|2014-16]], at age 68-70, study members were given the option to complete an additional form and wear an accelerometer for seven days. The separate activity questionnaire included questions on typical levels of activity, frequency of various activities, past activity, falls, joints and bones. The accelerometer, Gulf Coast Data Concepts X16-1C, was worn on the hip and was used to measure movement and impact of activity during habitual physical activity. A time sheet was also completed so the times when the monitor was not worn could be documented. |
