Component Description

The physical activity questionnaire (variable name prefix PAQ) includes an extensive array of questions related to daily activities, leisure-time activities, and sedentary activities.

Eligible Sample

All survey participants were eligible. Proxy respondents answered the questions for participants aged 3 to 11 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 and most participants aged 12 to 15 years, the questions were asked in the home, by trained interviewers, using the Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) (interviewer administered) system.

For some participants aged 12 to 15 years, the questions were asked at the mobile center, by trained interviewers, using the CAPI system as part of the MEC interview.

Variable PAAQUEX indicates where the questionnaire was asked for each participant.

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-PAQ724ae or PAQ759a-PAQ759t, respectively.

Analytic Notes

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

Please refer to the NNYFS Analytic Guidelines for details on the use of sample weights and other analytic issues.
