Calibration of an Accelerometer Activity Index Among Older Women and Its Association With Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
Wang, 2022

Description

Linear regression to predict METS and cut-points to classify activity intensity from accelerometer activity index (AAI) derived from a hip-worn ActiGraph monitor in older women. Sensitivity was 79-82%, specificity was 88-97%, and root mean square error was 0.482-0.503 METs.

Development/Validation

Sample: 199 older women, 60-91 years of age

Setting: Laboratory

Activities: Activities of daily living, overground walking, stationary

Criterion: Oxycon Mobile (VO2)

Accelerometer(s): ActiGraph GT3X+ on right hip

Validation approach: Five-fold cross-validation

Phase Designation

(What's this?)

This model is in Phase 1.

Instructions

Calculate AAI using the relative equation described by Bai et al., 2016, then aggregate into AAI per 15-sec by taking the sum of AAI per second within the 15-sec epoch. The authors provided an overall model to predict METs from AAI, an age-specific model to predict METs from AAI, and cut-points to classify activity intensity based on AAI. AAI can also be calculated using the 'ActivityIndex' R package.
