Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
In this study, a correlation coefficient will be calculated between physical activity measured with the EPIC-physical activity questionnaire (a physical activity index) and the mean activity count and/or the mean energy expenditure based on the ActiHeart monitor.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To validate three other questionnaires about physical activity with the ActiHeart monitor. - The IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire): this questionnaire is the recommended questionnaire to use in international perspective (www.ipaq.ki.se) - The RPAQ (Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire): this questionnaire was developed by the MRC Epidemiology Unit in Cambridge, one of the EPIC centres, and will possibly be used in the EPIC study in the future - The SQUASH (Short QUestionnaire to ASsess Health enhancing physical activity): this questionnaire is the national standard questionnaire on physical activity in the Netherlands. Moreover, this study presents the possibility to explore the measurement of physical activity of these questionnaires relative to each other.	—
