harmonize: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY #15

Open andkov opened 8 years ago

describe items

andkov commented 8 years ago

@ampiccinin , the descriptives for the PHYSICAL ACTIVITY are ready. Please review the variable description and provide the list of variables that WILL NOT be included into data schema variables. Please pay particular attention to continuous variables. In order to move on to generating response-profiles from data schema variables for this construct we need only categorical variables. If we rule in advance that a particular continuous variable WILL NOT be used for harmonization, we can avoid the expense of categorizing it.

Please provide the name of the study and the original spelling of the variable the WILL NOT be included (e.g. SATSA - GSTOPALK), as well a brief note about the reasons for exclusion.

(this last thing, I forgot to mention it in #14. We need to provide an argumentation for excluding items from harmonization computation. If you it works out, please type it up here, so we do not have to revisit the decision when finalizing the documentation. I'm afraid these decision will drag us down later if they are not documented on the spot.)

@andkov - I'll be MIA until around 2 and will attempt to catch up then.

@ampiccinin , i don't think it works to copy/paste like you do. please view this page in a browser at github webpage to see what i'm talking about. There is so much text noise from the meta data you've copied that I can't see what you've added.

@andkov - Darn! What a mess.

Please just read the bits in BLACK. The BLUE is just the URLs from your list. Hope this helps.

REGULAR EXERCISE

regular_exercise

(walking or better)

don't use continuous variables

alsa

lbls

one or more = 1 - yes EXCERTOT, WALK94 = 0 on either of those is 1 on the harmonized variable. (risk factor, no regular exercise)

satsa
