It has also been found to map reliably onto the EQ-5D scale, a five-dimension health status indicator that is commonly used in generating the preference weightings needed to construct QALYs and other similar measures (Brazier and Roberts, 2004; Lawrence and Fleishman, 2004; Gray et al., 2006).
Sample text:```For example, we have shown that a depressive mood state and poor quality of life are less likely in elderly individuals who meet empirical minimum standards of habitual physical activity: >4,000 steps/day or >5 min/day at an intensity ≥3 metabolic equivalents (METs; Yasunaga et al., 2006; Yoshiuchi et al., 2006).```
