The Godin Scale was used to assess weekly exercise frequency and intensity
Fruit & Vegetable Consumption
Total daily servings of reported fruits and vegetables (maximum of 10) were calculated using a composite measure that summed separate responses for fruits and vegetables.
Mammography Screening Behavior
We used responses to two questions to create a dichotomous measure of whether or not female respondents (all aged 50 to 70) received a mammogram in the past year.
Colorectal cancer screening
A measure of up-to-date colorectal cancer screening status was assessed using individuals' self-reports of recency of colonoscopy (within 10 years), sigmoidoscopy (within five years), and/or fecal occult blood test (FOBT) within one year.
