Comparison of Energy Expenditure Assessed Using Wrist- and Hip-Worn ActiGraph GT3X in Free-Living Conditions in Young and Older Adults

The World Health Organization has presented their recommendations for energy expenditure to improve public health. Activity trackers do represent a modern solution for measuring physical activity, particularly in terms of steps/day and energy expended in physical activity (active energy expenditure)...

description The World Health Organization has presented their recommendations for energy expenditure to improve public health. Activity trackers do represent a modern solution for measuring physical activity, particularly in terms of steps/day and energy expended in physical activity (active energy expenditure). According to the manufacturer's instructions, these activity trackers can be placed on different body locations, mostly at the wrist and the hip, in an undifferentiated manner. The objective of this study was to compare the absolute error rate of active energy expenditure measured by a wrist-worn and hip-worn ActiGraph GT3X+ over a 24-h period in free-living conditions in young and older adults. Over the period of a 24-h period, 22 young adults and 22 older adults were asked to wear two ActiGraph GT3X+ at two different body locations recommended by the manufacturer, namely one around the wrist and one above the hip. Freedson algorithm was applied for data analysis. For both groups, the absolute error rate tended to decrease from 1,252 to 43% for older adults and from 408 to 46% for young participants with higher energy expenditure. Interestingly, for both young and older adults, the wrist-worn ActiGraph provided a significantly higher values of active energy expenditure (943 ± 264 cal/min) than the hip-worn (288 ± 181 cal/min). Taken together, these results suggest that caution is needed when using active energy expenditure as an activity tracker-based metric to quantify physical activity.
