Objectively-measured physical activity patterns and longitudinal weight category status in a rural setting

Objectives To investigate the relationship between longitudinal weight-change and objectively-measured physical activity (PA) in a rural African setting in 143 adults (≥ 30 years), using data from two cross-sectional surveys, separated by approximately 10 years. Participants were categorised into three weight-change groups (Weight-loss: ≥ 25 kg m −2 → < 25 kg m −2 ; Weight-gain: < 25 kg m −2 → ≥ 25 kg m −2 ; Weight-stability: remained <...
