For physical activity this included sports and exercise, leisure time physical activity, active transport, occupational physical activity and household activities.
26 The questionnaire is used to gather information on participants' habitual daily physical activity based on involvement in potential active and passive activities (occupational, household, hobby, exercise, sedentary, travel, etc) and their duration and frequency over the previous month.
The authors reported a 75% greater coronary artery diameter in control versus infarction subjects within the active and heavy physical activity occupational groups.
The SQUASH measures duration, frequency and intensity of different domains of physical activity (active work transportation, occupational physical activity, household activities, and leisure time activities).
The KPAS provides a quantifiable index value ranging from 1 to 5 for each domain specific response for four domains of activity: household/caregiving, occupational, active living, and sports/exercise using the scoring procedures outlined by Sternfeld et al. [ 31] (possible range: 1.0 to 5.0).
For educational status, participants who had lower than secondary school education compared to those with at least secondary school education reported statistically significant higher mean time (min/week) at both time points for total PA, active transport, occupational PA, walking and vigorous intensity activity compared to those with at least secondary school education.
At both time points, men reported significantly (p<0.05) higher mean time (min/week) in active transportation, occupational PA and leisure-time PA than women.
For example, at both measurement time points, and consistent with hypothesis, men reported more time in active transportation, occupational PA and leisure PA than women, while women reported more time in domestic PA and sedentary activity than men.
However, such delivery methods may not be economically feasible and may potentially fail to increase activity across domains (home environment, recreation and leisure, active transport and occupational activity) and may even decrease total activity.
The unique faactor that emerged from the analyses was composed of three items related to health and functional activity (health, occupational role, and active recreation,) here named Health and Functioning.
