In this study, participants wore accelerometers for up to seven days between 2003 and 2006 and were followed for mortality through 2015 using the National Death Index.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by NIA and NCI press releases and an independent peer-reviewed methodology paper, all describing the same NHANES-based cohort study with matching details on accelerometer wear period, timeframe, and mortality follow-up via National Death Index.
