Description
For sample persons age 55 years and older who did not use a proxy respondent, PHYSACTYR reports the respondents level of physical activity compared to their physical activity level one year prior. Possible responses include "More active", "Less active", and "About the same".
Sample persons who responded either "More active" or "Less active" in PHYSACTYR were asked a follow up question to determine the sample person's relative level of activity compared to a year prior (PHYSACTYRAMT).
