On the 1-3 intenscalescale for endorsement of mild, moderate and severe intensity levels in the questionnaire, 28.2% of the adolescents with nondisease-related headaches reported mild intensity levels, and for moderate and severe headaches, the figures were: 61.9% versus 9.9%, respectively.
The LSI is scored as follows: the self-reported weekly frequencies for strenuous, moderate, and mild intensity levels are multiplied by 9, 5, and 3 METs (metabolic equivalents), respectively.
In summary, we found a high prevalence of pain of mild intensity, increased neuropeptide levels, increased everyday stress, and diminished quality of life in young women with depression.
For each AE recorded, an intensity level (ie, mild, moderate, or severe) was assigned.
The majority of students with less than one headache day per week reported mild headaches, and those with 1 3.5 headache days per week reported equal levels of mild and moderate intensity levels, while almost half of them had experienced severe headaches (45.3%).
When PA was classified into four levels (sedentary, mild, moderate or intense activities) [ 31], patients participated on a lower intensity level compared to a reference group.
Pain descriptors are self-rated by the patient according to intensity level (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe).
Scores for the intensity of cell staining were as follows: 1 (mild intensity), 2 (moderate intensity) and 3 (intense staining).
For the highest intensity level across the whole 3-week period, almost identical proportions of mild and moderate headaches were reported by students (22.3 22.5%), while about twice as many (40.7%) had experienced severe headaches.
The intensity prescribed varied from 55%% (mild intensity) to 85%% (moderate to vigorous intensity) of participants' maximal heart rates, depending on their initial levels of physical fitness.
