4. 2. Validation and application of objective measures of obesity and physical activity : studies in pregnant and non-pregnant adults and in infants

   Author : Anna Gradmark; Paul W Franks; David Fields; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : physical activity; validation; body composition; abdominal adipose tissue; methods; accelerometer; pregnancy; insulin sensitivity; offspring;

   Abstract : Background Excess adipose tissue and low physical activity are two major determinants for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.  Understanding these relationships requires accurate and precise measures of body composition and physical activity, and most existing observational studies lack such measures.
