Miranda Armstrong (Cancer Epidemiology Unit, University of Oxford):Reported frequency of physical activity in a large epidemiological study

Thank you to Miranda for giving an excellent talk about the methods adopted in the Million Women Study (a nationwide study investigating how reproductive and lifestyle factors affect women’s health)to assess physical activity over time via self-administered questionnaires. One of the most fascinating outcomes was that some participants actually underestimated their physical activity levels by failing to take account of common day-to-day tasks such as housework, and instead only report strenuous activity.

Miranda has kindly given us her slides from the talk, and a link to Miranda's paper on this topic which can be found here.
