In second third quartiles, walking household/childcare together more than two-thirds all activities. Only highest cardio (not walking, household/childcare) largest proportion activity; this category stood alone as varying significantly across (p < 0.005). Among these adult women, self-reported "lifestyle" not sufficient meet one-quarter so largely through purposeful directly associated with exercise. Further research needed refine means fully measuring that frequently perform, particular attention household work, childcare differing combinations by which diverse levels. findings small scale reinforce ongoing benefit recommending structured, planned at intensity young, ensure obtain health benefits.
