A Comparison of Functional Principal Component Analysis Methods with Accelerometry Applications [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The association between a person's physical activity and various health outcomes is an area of active research. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data provide a valuable resource for studying these associations. NHANES accelerometry data has been used by many to measure individuals' activity levels.

Multi-Systemic Biological Risk and Cancer Mortality: The NHANES III Study. [PDF]
, 2020 Multi-systemic biological risk (MSBR), a proxy for allostatic load, is a composite index of biomarkers representing dysregulation due to responses to chronic stress. This study examined the association of an MSBR index with cancer mortality.

The frequency of osteogenic activities and the pattern of intermittence between periods of physical activity and sedentary behaviour affects bone mineral content: the cross-sectional NHANES study [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Sedentary behaviours, defined as non exercising seated activities, have been shown to have deleterious effects on health. It has been hypothesised that too much sitting time can have a detrimental effect on bone health in youth.

Urinary bisphenol A and obesity: NHANES 2003–2006 [PDF]
Environmental Research, 2011 Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical suspected of causing endocrine and metabolic disruption in animals and humans. In rodents, in utero exposure to low-dose BPA is associated with weight gain. Detectable levels of BPA are found in most Americans due to its widespread use in the manufacture of food and drink packaging.

Systematically Missing Data in Causally Interpretable Meta-Analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Causally interpretable meta-analysis combines information from a collection of randomized controlled trials to estimate treatment effects in a target population in which experimentation may not be possible but covariate information can be collected from a simple random sample.
