88422-1

LOINC code 88422-1 identifies "Total physical activity.work domain [IPAQ]". A patient's total physical activity in the work domain can be reported as a continuous variable based on the duration (e.g. in minutes) and frequency (e.g. days) of walking, moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity activities at work. The activity level is reported in MET-minutes/week or MET-minutes/day, although the former is more frequently used and is thus suggested.

This code measures Total physical activity.work domain in ^Patient. It belongs to the SURVEY.IPAQ class in the LOINC classification.

LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) is a universal standard for identifying laboratory and clinical observations. It is maintained by the Regenstrief Institute and used worldwide for health data exchange.
