20 white and 21 black premeno-pausal women (over-weight, weight reduced and control); 20-46 years of age; 20 white and 14 black control women |

Relationship between Tecumseh Occupational questionnaire (TOQ) and direct (7-day occupational activity records and Caltrac accelerometer) and indirect (maximal oxygen uptake and percent body fat) measures of physical activity status |
46 women; 20-60 years of age |
Correlations between TOQ (other than standing) and direct Caltrac and indirect (VO2 max) were NS
