Associations Between Objectively-measured Physical Activity And Clustered Cvd Risk In Adolescents: Nhanes 2003-2006
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is accelerated by the clustering of CVD risk factors/metabolic syndrome, which in adults is strongly associated to physical activity (PA). However, this association has not been... Continue Reading >>>
