Accelerometer-Based Estimates of Physical Activity and Sedentary Time Among Samoan Adults

CONCLUSIONS: This study characterizes physical activity among Samoan adults and highlights variation by sex, urbanicity, and weight status. In providing initial device-measured estimates of physical activity in Samoa, this analysis establishes a baseline from which the success of future attempts to intervene on physical activity may be assessed.PMID:38621669 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2023-0590
