Fig. 1: Study overview.
From: Wearable accelerometer-derived physical activity and incident disease
Depicted is a graphical overview of the study. Within 96,244 UK Biobank participants who wore a wrist-worn accelerometer for one week, we tested for associations between objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and 697 incident diseases. We performed analogous association testing in 456,374 UK Biobank participants who provided self-reported activity data. There was overlap between the two analysis samples, as depicted by the Venn diagram in the center.
