-Self-reported information on adult physical activity levels has been collected at ages 31, 36, 43, 53, 60-64 and 68-69 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, 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. 
- 
-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.  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 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.  Study members were also invited to wear a CamNtech Actiheart monitor for 7 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.
