ActiveLIFE

An active lifestyle is associated with a lower lifetime risk of chronic disease development and a better life expectancy. However, contemporary physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) guidelines are exclusively based on questionnaires which i) are prone to measurement error (i.e. overreporting), ii) lack reliable information about the intensity, frequency and duration of PA, and iii) do not capture unstructured and light intensity PA. The ActiveLIFE project will overcome these limitations by creating world’s most comprehensive dataset of thigh-worn accelerometry, allowing detailed assessment of the dose-response relationship between PA and SB with health outcomes
