Please estimate the total time during the last week that you spent watching TV or videos/DVDs. This is when it was the main activity that you were doing; for example you would not include time when the television was switched on and you were preparing a meal.
1) Monday to Friday (In hours and/or minutes - fill in all circles on answer sheet). 2) Saturday and Sunday (In hours and/or minutes - fill in all circles on answer sheet)		hours and minutesOverall r=0.16, 95% CI: 0.09, 0.24; weekday r=0.09, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.16; weekend: r=0.23, 95% CI: 0.16, 0.30Computer, internet, electronic games in the last week
Please estimate the total time during the last week that you spent sitting and using the computer. For example, include time spent playing any Playstation, Nintendo, X-Box, computer or handheld console games, and time spent on internet activities. Do not include time spent doing paid work on the computer as this should have been included in the previous questions about sitting for work.
