我们对348名大学生（218名白色，130名黑人）进行了随机抽样，平均年龄19.3岁。身体活动水平的自我评估是从对“与您的年龄和性别相比，您认为自己是”（I）更活跃到（IV）稍微不那么活跃的问题的回答（4点量表）中获得的。此外，还评估了运动出汗的频率（天/周）。反应与静息心率、三头肌皮褶厚度和哈佛校友调查评估的体力活动进行比较。自我评估问题的结果显示，与（iv）相比，（i）组的静息心率（次/分）（73.0 vs 64.6，P < 0.01）、三头肌皮褶厚度（mm）（10.9 vs 20.4，P < 0.001）和哈佛调查评分（kcal/周）（5，654 vs 1，310，P< 0.001）显著降低。对于出汗事件的问题也观察到了类似的结果。与每周出汗0-1次的人相比，那些每周出汗5-7次的人的静息心率（67.0 vs 74.8，P <0.01）、三头肌皮褶厚度（14.7 vs 17.3，P <0.01）显着较低，而哈佛调查评分（5，717 vs 1，453，P< 0.001）较高。结果表明，这些简化的方法可能提供有用的指标的体力活动的流行病学研究，并保证在其他人群中进一步调查。
We assessed the utility of two simplified approaches for the assessment of physical activity in a random sample of 348 college students (218 white, 130 black), mean age 19.3 years. Self-assessment of physical activity level was obtained from the response (4-point scale) to the question “Compared with others your age and sex would you consider yourself to be” (I) much more active to (IV) somewhat less active. In addition, the frequency of exercise-induced sweating (days/week) was assessed. Responses were compared with measurements of resting heart rate, triceps skinfolds, and physical activity as assessed by the Harvard Alumni Survey. Results for the self-assessment question indicated significantly lower resting heart rates (beats/min) (73.0 vs 64.6,P< 0.01), triceps skinfolds (mm) (10.9 vs 20.4,P< 0.001), and higher Harvard Survey scores (kcal/week) (5,654 vs 1,310,P< 0.001) for those responding (i) compared with (iv). Similar results were noted for the sweat-episode question. Those reporting 5–7 sweat episodes per week had significantly lower resting heart rates (67.0 vs 74.8,P< 0.01), triceps skinfolds (14.7 vs 17.3,P< 0.01), and higher Harvard Survey scores (5,717 vs 1,453,P< 0.001) than those reporting 0–1 sweat episodes per week. The results suggest that these simplified approaches may provide useful indices of physical activity for epidemiologic research and warrant further investigation in other populations.
