Daily and Peak Monitor Independent Movement Summary (MIMS) Values Associated With Metabolic Syndrome: NHANES 2011-12 and 2013-14.

The U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) physical activity monitor datasets for 2011-12 and 2013-14 were released in late 2020.

Food Records Show Daily Variation in Diet during Pregnancy: Results from the Temporal Research in Eating, Nutrition, and Diet during Pregnancy Study.

Background: Diet is critical for pregnant individuals and their offspring, but insight into diet during pregnancy mainly comes from questionnaires and recalls.

Objectives: To obtain detailed real-time dietary data during pregnancy to evaluate intra- and interindividual variation in intakes.

Methods: Pregnant individuals were recruited from a New York City health system December 2020-June 2023.

Dose-Response Association Between Physical Activity (Daily MIMS, Peak 30-Minute MIMS) and Cognitive Function Among Older Adults: NHANES 2011-2014.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the dose-response association between habitual physical activity (PA) and cognitive function using a nationally representative data set of U.S. older adults aged ≥60 years.

Using Cadence to Predict the Walk-to-Run Transition in Children and Adolescents: A Logistic Regression Approach.

The natural transition from walking to running occurs in adults at ≅140 steps/min. It is unknown when this transition occurs in children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to develop a model to predict age- and anthropometry-specific preferred transition cadences in individuals 6-20 years of age.

A machine learning approach relating 3D body scans to body composition in humans.

A long-standing question in nutrition and obesity research involves quantifying the relationship between body fat and anthropometry. To date, the mathematical formulation of these relationships has relied on pairing easily obtained anthropometric measurements such as the body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, or hip circumference to body fat. Recent advances in 3D body shape imaging technology provides a new opportunity for quickly and accurately obtaining hundreds of anthropometric measurements within seconds, however, there does not yet exist a large diverse database that pairs these measurements to body fat.
