Term Description

Computation of total weekly physical activity as a continuous variable for the short form requires summation of the duration (in minutes) and frequency (days) of walking, moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity activities. Domain specific estimates cannot be estimated. The activity level is reported in MET-minutes/week or MET-minutes/day, although the former is more frequently used and is thus suggested. This quantitative total weekly physical activity result can be transformed into a categorical result using [LOINC: 77595-7].

Formula (Readable)

Total physical activity MET-minutes/week can be calculated two ways: 1. Total physical activity MET-minutes/week = Total (Walking + Moderate + Vigorous) MET-minutes/week, 2. Total physical activity MET-minutes/week = sum of Total Work + Total Transport + Total Domestic and Garden + Total Leisure-Time MET-minutes/week
