Accelerometer-measured physical activity is not associated with two-year weight change in African-origin adults from five diverse populations
Dugas, Lara R.; Kliethermes, Stephanie; Plange-Rhule, Jacob; Tong, Liping; Bovet, Pascal; Forrester, Terrence E.; Lambert, Estelle V.; Schoeller, Dale A.; Durazo-Arvizu, Ramon A.; Shoham, David A.; Cao, Guichan; Brage, Søren; Ekelund, Ulf; Cooper, Richard S.; Luke, Amy (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-19)Background.
