Component Description

The physical activity questionnaire (variable name prefix PAQ), made available through the Research Data Center (RDC), includes an extensive array of questions related to daily activities, leisure-time activities, and sedentary activities. These questions were asked in the NHANES National Youth Fitness Study (NNYFS) and of NHANES participants aged 3 to 15 years, during the second year of the 2011-2012 NHANES cycle.

Eligible Sample

All survey participants aged 3 to 15 years were eligible. Proxy respondents answered the questions for participants aged 3 to11 years. The questions asked varied by age group. The target group in the codebook indicates which age groups were asked which questions.

Interview Setting and Mode of Administration

For participants aged 3 to 11 years, the questions were asked in the home, using the Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) (interviewer administered) system.

For participants aged 12 to 15 years in the NNYFS, the questions were asked in the home or in the mobile examination center (MEC) if it was not possible to ask them in the home. For NHANES participants, the questions were asked in the MEC, by trained interviewers, using the CAPI system as part of the MEC interview.

Data Processing and Editing

The data were reviewed and edited for completeness, consistency, and illogical values. Some activities reported as “other specified” in PAQ724os and PAQ759os were back-coded into the appropriate category of PAQ724a-PAQae or PAQ759a-PAQ759t, respectively.

Analytic Notes

Suggested metabolic equivalent (MET) scores for some of the questions are listed in Appendix 1.
