Objective To assess the association of objectively measured levels of physical activity and sedentary time with major blood cell counts (e.g. white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets) among adults. Methods Data collected from the 2003–2004 and 2005–2006 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was used to assess blood cell counts in relation to objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time (accelerometer). A series of linear regressions modes were used to assess these associations adjusting for a range of factors known to be associated with blood cell counts, including age, body mass index, dietary factors, and previous infections. Results Higher levels of moderate-vigorous physical activity (ptrend
