Description:
The selected protocol assesses strenuous and moderate physical activities and exercise at various stages of life. Respondents are asked to estimate the average amount of time each week and the average number of months each year that they spend doing strenuous and moderate exercise.

Research Domain Information
Measure Name:
Cumulative Lifetime Physical Activity
Release Date:
December 30, 2009
Definition
Measure to assess lifetime strenuous and moderate physical activity
Purpose
Lifetime physical activity has been linked to cancer risk as well as to other conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Assessing lifetime physical activity will help quantify the modification of either increased or decreased risk. It is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for major causes of mortality.
