| 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 [[questionnaires:2009|2006-10]], at age 60-64, study members were asked to complete a pre-assessment questionnaire which included questions based on the EPAQ2.
