Identifying Multicomponent Patterns and Correlates of Accelerometry-Assessed Physical Behaviors Among Postmenopausal Women: The Women's Health Accelerometry Collaboration.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the simultaneous patterning of accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary behavior (physical behaviors) can inform targeted interventions. This cross-sectional study described multi-component patterns and correlates of physical behaviors using accelerometry among diverse postmenopausal women. The Women's Health Accelerometry Collaboration combined two United States-based cohorts of postmenopausal women with similar accelerometry protocols and measures. Women (n=22,612) 62 to 97 years enrolled in the Women's Health Study (n=16,742) and the Women's Health Initiative Objective Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Health Study (n=5870) wore an ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometer on their hip for one week. Awake-time accelerometry data were summarized using the accelerometer
