Abstract

Introduction: Recent epidemiological evidence of the importance of sedentary time and health suggests that an accurate measurement of population-level sedentary behaviour is required. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is a valid self-report measure of physical activity that has been used in population surveillance. In addition to recalled physical activity, the IPAQ contains items asking about recalled sitting time. The purpose of this study was to compare recalled weekday sitting time as measured by the IPAQ with objectively monitored sedentary time recorded by the activPAL™ activity monitor in Scottish adults.
