A data-driven, meaningful, easy to interpret, standardised accelerometer outcome variable for global surveillance
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Elsevier via the DOI in this record.Objectives: Our aim is to demonstrate how a data-driven accelerometer metric, the acceleration above which
a personâs most active minutes are accumulated, can a) quantify the prevalence of meeting current physical
activity guidelines for global surveillance and b) moving forward, could inform accelerometer-driven physical
activity guidelines. Unlike cut-point methods, the metric is population-independent (e.g. age) and potentially
comparable across datasets. Design: Cross-sectional, secondary data analysis. Methods: Analyses were
carried out on five datasets using wrist-worn accelerometers: children (N=145), adolescent girls (N=1669),
office workers (N=114), pre- (N=1218) and post- (N=1316) menopausal women, and adults with type 2
diabetes (N=475). Open-source software (GGIR) was used to generate the magnitude of acceleration above
which a personâs most active 60, 30 and 2 minutes are accumulated: M60ACC; M30ACC and M2ACC,
respectively. Results: The proportion of participants with M60ACC (children) and M30ACC (adults) values
higher than accelerations representative of brisk walking (i.e., moderate-to-vigorous physical activity) ranged
from 17-68% in children and 15%-81% in adults, tending to decline with age. The proportion of pre-and postmenopausal women with M2ACC values meeting thresholds for bone health ranged from 6-13%. Conclusions:
These metrics can be used for global surveillance of physical activity, including assessing prevalence of
meeting current physical activity guidelines. As accelerometer and corresponding health data accumulate it
will be possible to interpret the metrics relative to age- and sex- specific norms and derive evidence-based
physical activity guidelines directly from accelerometer data for use in future global surveillance. This is
where the potential advantages of these metrics lie
