-Self-reported information on adult physical activity levels has been collected at ages 31, 36, 43 and 53 years. <html><br></html> 
- 
- 
-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. <html><br></html>

- 
-Using data at age 36 years, a set of four physical activity variables have been derived (see Kuh et al 1992).  These are: physical activity during the working day; cycling and walking; heavy gardening and DIY; sports and recreational activities. Each of these variables categorises people into 3 groups from most active through to least active, except for physical activity during the working day which categorises people into 4 groups, with more details of how these categories are assigned given in the variable descriptions below.<html><br></html> <html><br></html> At age 43 years a similar summary variable was derived for sports and recreational activities.<html><br></html> 
- 
- 
-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). <html><br></html>

- 
-In 1999, at age 53, 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.<html><br></html>
