Step-Based Physical Activity Metrics and Cardiometabolic Risk: NHANES 2005-2006.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to catalog the relationships between step-based accelerometer metrics indicative of physical activity volume (steps per day, adjusted to a pedometer scale), intensity (mean steps per minute from the highest, not necessarily consecutive, minutes in a day; peak 30-min cadence), and sedentary behavior (percent time at zero cadence relative to wear time; %TZC) and cardiometabolic risk factors.

Methods

We analyzed data from 3388 participants, 20+ yr old, in the 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey with ≥1 valid day of accelerometer data and at least some data on weight, body mass index, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, glucose, insulin, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and/or glycohemoglobin.
