Electronic appendix: Index of physical activity measures across selected CLOSER studies

This appendix accompanies the CLOSER resource: ‘Physical activity across age and study: a guide to data in six CLOSER studies’.

The table below comprises an index of the physical activity measures available as of the time of writing across selected CLOSER studies.

The table can be filtered (using the “search” box) and sorted (using the column headers) on different characteristics of the measures, including study, year, sweep, respondent, activity domain, and subdomain, and whether frequency, duration and intensity of the activity was ascertained.

Original variable names are included to help data users find these variables within study datasets.
