Table 1.

Calculation of MET-minutes/week measured by IPAQ

Type of activity	Calculation Formula
Walking MET-minutes/week	3.3 * average walking minutes/day * walking days
Moderate MET-minutes/week	4.0 * average moderate-intensity activity minutes/day * moderate days
Vigorous MET-minutes/week	8.0 * average vigorous-intensity activity minutes/day * vigorous-intensity days
Total physical activity MET-minutes/week	sum of Walking + Moderate + Vigorous MET-minutes/week scores

Abbreviations: IPAQ, International Physical Activity Questionnaire; MET, metabolic equivalent.
