Abstract

Background/objectives To test the association between physical activity measured using accelerometer counts (Actigraph) and energy expenditure (EE) measured using the doubly labelled water (DLW) method in free-living children in India. The aim of this study was to explore the usefulness of Actigraphs in estimating EE.Subjects/methods Total EE (TEE) was measured in 58 children aged 8-9 years over a period of 2 weeks using the DLW technique. Physical activity level (PAL) was estimated from TEE, and the basal metabolic rate was predicted from weight. Physical activity was measured simultaneously using the Actigraph accelerometers (MTI AM7164 and GT1M). TEE was also calculated from the Actigraph counts using a published equation.Results TEE (mean: 6.6 vs 5.7 MJ, P=0.04) and Actigraph counts (counts/minute: 557 vs 465, P=0.02; total counts: 445 534 vs 354 748, P=0.004) were higher in boys than in girls. There were no significant correlations between either total Actigraph counts (r=0.15, P=0.3) or counts/minute (r=0.18, P=0.2), and TEE estimated using DLW. Similarly, there were no significant correlations between Actigraph counts and PAL (r=0.10, P=0.5; r=0.17, P=0.2, respectively). The Bland-Altman analysis showed poor agreement between TEE estimated using the DLW method and TEE derived from the Actigraph equation.Conclusions Activity measured using Actigraph accelerometers was not related to TEE and PAL derived using the DLW technique in children in Mysore. Actigraphs may not be useful in predicting EE in this setting, but may be better used for judging activity patterns.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
