Objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity does not attenuate prospective weight gain among african-origin adults spanning the epidemiological transition

Candice Choo-Kang, Larske Marit Soepnel, Hayli Geffen, Chad Africa et autres

Traditional obesity-related public health messaging often includes physical activity (PA) recommendations. However, at the population level, the data are conflicting, especially when comparing different self-reported vs. measured techniques across different settings and populations. We measured the association between moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) …
