Synopsis: 
This study, in a small sample of Jamaican adults, found activity energy expenditure to be highly correlated with degree of adiposity yet not with weight change over six years of follow-up.

ABSTRACT

We sought to determine the relationship between activity energy expenditure (AEE), adiposity and weight change in an adult population
