Abstract

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.


This study is a face to face survey which complements the Allied Dunbar National Fitness Survey (ADNFS) using the same household questionnaire. The purpose of this survey was to boost the sample size from the ADNFS and through sampling on a less clustered basis (without the constraint imposed for the physical appraisal in the ADNFS), to establish a sample that could be analysed at a regional level.
The Allied Dunbar National Fitness Survey is held in the Archive as SN:3303.
Main Topics:

Home activities; walking; cycling; sport and exercise activities; employment; other physical activites; attitudes to activity and health; diet; alcohol; smoking; health status including current and past illnesses/symptoms; women's health; classification data; local sports facilities. Many of the questions covered both past and present behaviour.
Measurement Scales
Bradburn Scale - <i>Bradburn, N.M., </i>The structure of well-being<i> (Chicago: Aldine, 1969).
London School of Hygiene Cardiovascular Questionnaire - </i>Rose, G. and Blackburn, `Cardiovascular survey methods' (WHO monograph 56, pp.1-188, 1986).
