This study examined the relationship between income and physical activity by using three
measures to illustrate daily physical activity: the self-reported physical activity index for leisure-time
physical activity, pedometer-based total steps for overall daily physical activity,
and pedometer-based aerobic steps that reflect continuous steps for more than 10 min at a
time. The study population consisted of 753 adults from Finland (mean age 41.7 years; 64%
women) who participated in 2011 in the follow-up of the ongoing Young Finns study. Ordinary
least squares models were used to evaluate the associations between income and physical
activity. The consistency of the results was explored by using register-based income information
from Statistics Finland, employing the instrumental variable approach, and dividing the
pedometer-based physical activity according to weekdays and weekend days. The results
indicated that higher income was associated with higher self-reported physical activity for
both genders. The results were robust to the inclusion of the control variables and the use of
register-based income information. However, the pedometer-based results were gender-specific
and depended on the measurement day (weekday vs. weekend day). In more detail, the
association was positive for women and negative or non-existing for men. According to the
measurement day, among women, income was positively associated with aerobic steps
despite the measurement day and with totals steps measured on the weekend. Among men,
income was negatively associated with aerobic steps measured on weekdays. The results
indicate that there is an association between income and physical activity, but the association
is gender-specific and depends on the measurement type of physical activity.

Directly measured and self-reported physical activity in a sample of Finnish secondary school students
Gråstén, Arto; Watt, Anthony; Jaakkola, Timo; Liukkonen, Jarmo (Scientific Research Publishing Inc, 2012)Previous studies based on self-reports show that a majority of children and adolescents in Western countries fail to achieve the recommendation of 60 minutes moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA) on a daily basis. ... -

Paloniemi, Susanna; Penttonen, Markku; Eteläpelto, Anneli; Hökkä, Päivi; Vähäsantanen, Katja (Springer, 2022)Studies on emotions in learning have been mostly conducted through self-reporting questionnaires and interviews conducted after the learning situation, which seldom focus on professional workplace learning. Meanwhile, ... -
