versions of the MTUS, but now is located in AV23AV41: Unclassified or missing activitiesIncluding suchEntry missing or undecipherableactivities as:Notes: None3.2 MTUS 69-activity typologyThe more recent activity code list both updates the original list and amends someshortcomings of that original classification. Some of the 41 codes groupedcategories where few minutes of time were recorded, but the nature of theseactivities differs markedly (particularly in paid work time and odd jobs, the latter ofwhich spans adult care, pet care, DIY and household management). Also, somenew activities (computing and computer games) have become prominent sincethe original MTUS project started. For releases 5.8 and 6, we include anexpanded list of activity codes alongside the AV codes. Version 5.53 covers onlythe summary time (total minutes per 24-hour diary) across the 41 AV activitycategories. In Version 5.8 we likewise cover summary time in the AV as well asthe new MAIN activity lists. In World 6, we code the episode level information formain (AV and MAIN) as well as secondary activities, technology use, mode oftransport, and location.Table 2.2 summarises the 69 category main activity list (we use the same codesfor secondary activities in the World 6 file). Table 2.3 maps the older AVcategories into the 69 category list, and highlights points at which the two codeframes differ. The old and new categories do include some differences, and themore detailed list does not simply collapse back to the older less detailed list.Table 2.2: Harmonised activity codes (69-category typology)Activity codesDescriptionMAIN/SEC 1imputed personal or household careMAIN/SEC 2sleep and napsMAIN/SEC 3imputed sleepMAIN/SEC 4wash, dress, care for selfMAIN/SEC 5meals at work or schoolMAIN/SEC 6other meals or snacksMAIN/SEC 7paid work - main job (not at home)MAIN/SEC 8paid work at homeMAIN/SEC 9second or other job not at homeMAIN/SEC 10unpaid work to generate household income
