scoring_ipaqsf: Scoring the International Physical Activity Questionnaire...

In nrkoehler/qscorer: Procedures for Scoring Health-related Questionnaires

Description

The purpose of the IPAQ is to provide a set of well-developed instruments that can be used internationally to obtain comparable estimates of physical activity. There are two versions of the questionnaire. The short version is suitable for use in national and regional surveillance systems and the long version provide more detailed information often required in research work or for evaluation purposes. (The IPAQ Group)

Usage

scoring_ipaqsf(data, items = 1:11, keep = TRUE, weight)

Arguments

data	a data.frame containing the IPAQ items orderd from 1 to 11: VigDays: Number of days doing vigorous physical activity per week VigHours: Number of hours in vigorous physical activity per day VigMin: Number of minutes in vigorous physical activity per day ModDays: Number of days doing moderate physical activity per week ModHours: Number of hours in moderate physical activity per day ModMin: Number of minutes in moderate physical activity per day WalkDays: Number of days walking per week WalkHours: Number of hours walking per day WalkMin: Number of minutes in walking per day SitHours: Number of hours sitting per day SitMin: Number of minutes sitting per day
items	A character vector with the IPAQ item names ordered from 1 to 11, or a numeric vector indicating the column numbers of the IPAQ items in data.
keep	Logical, whether to keep the single items and whether to return variables containing the number of non-missing items on each scale for each respondent. The default is TRUE.
weight	Character vector with name of the body weight variable
