Cross-sectional (n = 12,353) and longitudinal analyses (n = 9,077) leveraged adjusted complex survey regression models to examine associations between steps/day, and cadence with weight (kg), waist circumference (cm) and body mass index (kg/m²). Effect measure modification by covariates was examined.<h4>Results</h4>Lower steps/day and intensity was associated with higher adiposity at baseline.
