Accelerometer-derived physical activity and sedentary time by cancer type in the United States

November 2017

Abstract: The 2003–2004 and 2005–2006 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were among the first population-level studies to incorporate objectively measured physical activity and sedentary behavior, allowing for greater understanding of these behaviors.
