Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity in the United States measured by accelerometer.
Richard P. Troiano,David Berrigan,Kevin W. Dodd,Louise C. Mâsse,Timothy Tilert,Margaret McDowell +5 more
TL;DR: Objective and subjective measures of physical activity give qualitatively similar results regarding gender and age patterns of activity, however, adherence to physical activity recommendations according to accelerometer-measured activity is substantially lower than according to self-report.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Strength of Phenotypic Selection in Natural Populations
Joel G. Kingsolver,Hopi E. Hoekstra,Jonathan M. Hoekstra,David Berrigan,Sacha Vignieri,C. E. Hill,A. Hoang,Patricia Gibert,Peter Beerli +8 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of estimated linear selection gradients and differentials suggest that indirect components of phenotypic selection were usually modest relative to direct components, and no evidence that stabilizing selection is stronger or more common than disruptive selection in nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid evolution of a geographic cline in size in an introduced fly.
TL;DR: The introduction and rapid spread of Drosophila subobscura in the New World two decades ago provide an opportunity to determine the predictability and rate of evolution of a geographic cline, but different wing sections dominate the New versus Old World clines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calorie Restriction, Aging, and Cancer Prevention: Mechanisms of Action and Applicability to Humans*
TL;DR: This review synthesizes the key biological mechanisms underlying many of the beneficial effects of CR, with a particular focus on the insulin-like growth factor-1 pathway and some of the opportunities now available for investigations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedentary Activity Associated With Metabolic Syndrome Independent of Physical Activity
Andrea J Bankoski,Tamara B. Harris,James J. McClain,Robert J. Brychta,Paolo Caserotti,Kong Y. Chen,David Berrigan,Richard P. Troiano,Annemarie Koster +8 more
TL;DR: The proportion of sedentary time was strongly related to metabolic risk, independent of physical activity, and older people may benefit from reducing total sedentaryTime and avoiding prolonged periods of Sedentary time by increasing the number of breaks during sedentarytime.
