THE VALIDITY OF SELF-REPORTED EXERCISE-INDUCED SWEATING AS A MEASURE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
The validity of self-reported hours in which one engages in activities strenuous enough to produce sweating was assessed as a measure of physical activity. Respondents were 732 randomly selected adults between the ages of 25 and 65 years from the Boston, Massachusetts, metropolitan area who particip...

Respondents were 732 randomly selected adults between the ages of 25 and 65 years from the Boston, Massachusetts, metropolitan area who participated in a field trial of health risk appraisal instruments in 1987. A total of 68% of the men and 57% of the women in the sample were involved in sweat-inducing activities at least once per week. The correlation between the natural logarithm of reported sweat hours per week and energy expenditure measured by the Harvard Alumni Activity Survey was 0.39. Following a logarithmic transformation and adjustment for age and sex, sweat hours was significantly correlated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol (r=0.11, p |
