Questions and instructions

Question pretext

Next I am going to ask you about the time you spend doing different types of physical activity in a typical week. Please answer these questions even if you do not consider yourself to be an active person. Think first about the time you spend doing work. Think of work as the things that you have to do such as paid or unpaid work, household chores, harvesting food/crops, fishing or hunting for food, providing care or seeking employment.

In answering the following questions 'vigorous activities' require hard physical effort and cause large increases in breathing or heart rate, 'moderate activities' require moderate physical effort and cause small increases in breathing or heart rate.

Literal question

Does your work involve vigorous-intensity activity that causes large increases in breathing or heart rate, [like heavy lifting, digging or chopping wood] for at least 10 minutes continuously?
