88429-6

LOINC code 88429-6 identifies "Total physical activity.domestic and garden domain [IPAQ]". A patient's total physical activity in the domestic and garden domain can be reported as a continuous variable based on the duration (e.g. in minutes) and frequency (e.g. days) of vigorous yard work activities and moderate-intensity yard work and domestic (inside chores) activities. 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.domestic and garden domain in ^Patient. It belongs to the SURVEY.IPAQ class in the LOINC classification.
