What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The prevalence of overweight and obesity remains epidemic in the United States, with some of the highest rates seen in older adults. While this phenomenon is certainly multifactorial, a good deal of evidence suggests that insufficient physical activity (PA) contributes significantly. Pilot data recently collected in a laboratory indicates a strong, inverse relationship between daily step counts and body fatness and cardiometabolic risk (CMR) factors when step counts are expressed relative to fat mass in young adults. This expression of PA may be especially predictive of body composition because it is influenced by factors that influence appetite and energy intake, energy expenditure, and the energy "reservoir" that is represented by body fat stores, all three elements of the "settling point" model of body weight. The strength of this relationship suggests that prescription of step counts
