Accelerometer-Determined Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Among U.S. Adults
There are a widespread number of studies showing the link between physical activity (PA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors; however, few studies have provided this evidence with objectively... Continue Reading >>>

Accelerometer-Determined Lifestyle Activity, Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and Metabolic Syndrome
Many studies have examined the relationship between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and abnormal cardiovascular risk factors (CRF) or metabolic syndrome (MetSyn). However, the independent effects of lower intensity lifestyle... Continue Reading >>>

Accelerometer Data Processing in NHANES 2005-2006: Evaluation of Physical Activity Compliance Criteria
Accelerometers are the most commonly used tool for objectively quantifying levels of moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA). However, physical activity results vary substantially depending on how the accelerometer... Continue Reading >>>

Within-person differences in physical activity measured by self-report and accelerometer in NHANES, 2003–2006
The 2003–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) included self-reported physical activity as well as accelerometer wear by participants in a nationally representative survey. PURPOSE: To explore the... Continue Reading >>>

Patterns of objectively assessed physical activity: A comparison between Sweden and US
INTRODUCTION: Objective measurement of physical activity for surveillance and international comparisons has potential for overcoming cultural, linguistic, and recall bias problems of self-report. Two countries, Sweden and the United... Continue Reading >>>

Accelerometer profiles in normal weight, overweight, and obese U.S. adults: 2005–2006 NHANES
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this analysis is to describe an accelerometer-defined (ActiGraph AM-7164) physical activity/inactivity/energy expenditure profile in normal weight, overweight, and obese adults using the 2005–2006 NHANES physical... Continue Reading >>>

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 >>>
