The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between HRQoL and PA, and examine how this relationship differs across objective and subjective measures of PA, within the context of a large representative national survey from England. Methods: Using a sample of 5, adults years from a representative national survey in England Health Survey for England , Tobit regressions with upper censoring was employed to model the association between HRQoL and objective, and subjective measures of PA controlling for potential confounders.
We tested the robustness of this relationship across specific types of PA. The actigraph was worn at the waist for 7 days during waking hours by a randomly selected sub-sample of the HSE respondents 4, adults plus years , with a valid day constituting 10 hours. Analysis was conducted in This relationship is consistent across different measures and types of PA although differences in the magnitude of HRQoL benefit associated with objective and subjective regression coefficient: 0.
