nameModerate physical activity [IPAQ]
descriptionA patient's total moderate physical activity can be reported as a continuous variable based on the duration (e.g. in minutes) and frequency (e.g. days) of moderate activity over the past 7 days. In the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Long form, the patient is asked separate questions on moderate physical activity in various domains, including for transport (cycling), at work, doing chores (yard & house), and for recreation, sport, exercise or leisure. The total duration and frequency for these domains is used to calculate the patient's moderate physical activity level. In the IPAQ Short form, these domains are grouped together into a single question for duration and another for frequency of moderate physical activity in the last 7 days. The activity level is reported in MET-minutes/week or MET-minutes/day, although the former is more frequently used and is thus suggested. Calculation for moderate physical activity for the long and short IPAQ forms: Short form: Moderate MET-minutes/week = 4.0 * moderate-intensity activity minutes per day * moderate-intensity days per week Long form: Moderate MET-minutes/week = Cycle MET-minutes/week (Transport) + Moderate MET-minutes/week (Work + Mod Yard chores + Inside chores + Leisure) + Vigorous MET-minutes/week (Vig Yard chores) where Cycle MET-minutes/week = 6.0 * Cycling minutes/day * Cycle days/week for transportation Moderate MET-minutes/week = 4.0 * total moderate activity minutes/day * total moderate days/week (for Work + Mod Yard chores + Inside chores + Leisure) Vigorous MET-minutes/week = 5.5 * vigorous-intensity activity minutes/day * vigorous-intensity days/week doing yard work For the IPAQ, walking is considered a moderate-intensity activity. To determine a total moderate-intensity MET-minutes/week, the walking and moderate totals should be added.

scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256
