IMPORTANT:
 You need to run the Epi Info programmes AgeRange2564 (or AgeRange1564) and
MissingAgeSexConsent prior to running any of the programmes in the data book. You
should only need to run these programmes one time. If age and/or sex can be entered for any
records missing this information, then enter this missing information and run
Rerun_AgeSex2564 (or Rerun_AgeSex1564) followed by MissingAgeSexConsent.
 ALL questions that report results by age and/or sex use the variables AgeRange, Sex, and
Valid. These variables are created in the above AgeRange and MissingAgeSexConsent
programmes using the variables C1, C2, and C3.
 ALL weighted programs use the variables PSU, Stratum, and one of either WStep1,
WStep2, or WStep3.
 Unweighted tables will not have confidence intervals associated with them.

Physical Activity
Introduction Analysis physical activity data can be very complicated and the result confusing.
The following guidelines will help clarify the results of the physical activity data
and will also provide valuable information on the classifications. Make sure you
use some of these guidelines when you report physical activity data.
 MET values are applied to vigorous and moderate intensity variables in the
work, transport and recreation domains. These have been calculated using an
average of the typical types of activity undertaken. Different types of activities
have been grouped together and given a MET value based on the intensity of
the activity. Applying MET values to types of activities allows us to calculate
total physical activity. For more information regarding MET values go the
STEPS website at www.who.int/chp/steps .
 The calculations below use multiple questions in the physical activity section.
To simplify this a bit the questions have been clustered into four groups (as
they appear in the Instrument). In the Instrument questions section of the table,
only the group label appears. The specific questions for each group are
presented below.
Activity at work:
Does your work involve vigorous-intensity activity that causes large increases
in breathing or heart rate like [examples] for at least 10 minutes
continuously?
In a typical week, on how many days do you do vigorous-intensity activities
as part of your work?
How much time do you spend doing vigorous-intensity activities at work on a
typical day?
Does your work involve moderate-intensity activity, that causes small
increases in breathing or heart rate such as brisk walking for at least 10
minutes continuously?
In a typical week, on how many days do you do moderate-intensity activities
as part of your work?
How much time do you spend doing moderate-intensity activities at work on a
typical day?
Travel to and from places:
Do you walk or use a bicycle for at least 10 minutes continuously to get to and
from places?
In a typical week, on how many days do you walk or bicycle for at least 10
minutes continuously to get to and from places?

How much time do you spend walking or bicycling for travel on a typical day?
Recreational activities:
Do you do any involve vigorous-intensity sports, fitness or recreational

for at least 10 minutes continuously?
In a typical week, on how many days do you do vigorous-intensity sports,
fitness or recreational activities?
How much time do you spend doing vigorous-intensity sports, fitness or

Do you do any involve moderate-intensity sports, fitness or recreational

In a typical week, on how many days do you do moderate--intensity sports,
