Title of Collaborative Activity:

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) - Physical Activity and Muscle Strength Components

Description of Collaborative Activity:

For the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-14, the National Cancer Institute proposed and coordinated funding from multiple NIH Institutes and the Department of Defense for two components: a new technology physical activity monitor to be worn on the wrist and a measurement of muscle strength using a hand-grip dynamometer. The wrist-worn accelerometer will provide the first objective measurement of sleep duration in a nationally representative sample, in addition to measuring physical activity movement. The muscle-strength measure will provide an indicator of total body strength for children, adults, and older adults who are NHANES participants.
