TL;DR: Considering the diverse samples in this study, IPAQ has reasonable measurement properties for monitoring population levels of physical activity among 18- to 65-yr-old adults in diverse settings.

The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ): a study of concurrent and construct validity.
TL;DR: The long, self-administered IPAQ questionnaire has acceptable validity when assessing levels and patterns of PA in healthy adults and might introduce a source of error in criterion validation studies.

Utility of pedometers for assessing physical activity: convergent validity.
TL;DR: The accumulated evidence herein provides ample support that the simple and inexpensive pedometer is a valid option for assessing physical activity in research and practice.

Worldwide Variability in Physical Inactivity : A 51-Country Survey
TL;DR: Overall, about 15% of men and 20% of women from the 51 countries analyzed here are at risk for chronic diseases due to physical inactivity, and there were substantial variations across countries and settings.

Addressing overreporting on the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) telephone survey with a population sample
TL;DR: Overreporting of PA in population samples is a serious problem that could be reduced by implementing procedure changes without changing the IPAQ items themselves.

The global burden of disease: a comprehensive assessment of mortality and disability from diseases injuries and risk factors in 1990 and projected to 2020.
TL;DR: This is the first in a planned series of 10 volumes that will attempt to "summarize epidemiological knowledge about all major conditions and most risk factors" and use historical trends in main determinants to project mortality and disease burden forward to 2020.

Mortality by cause for eight regions of the world: Global Burden of Disease Study
TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) used various data sources and made corrections for miscoding of important diseases (eg, ischaemic heart disease) to estimate worldwide and regional cause-of-death patterns in 1990, and the estimates by cause provide a foundation for a more informed debate on public-health priorities.

How much physical activity is good for health
TL;DR: The epidemiological studies suggest a linear dose-response relationship, at least up to a point, between physical activity and health and functional effects, which support public health recommendations directed toward the most sedentary and unfit stratum of the population and emphasize doing at least moderate physical activity.
