Improving wear time compliance with a 24-hour waist-worn accelerometer protocol in the International Study of Childhood Obesity, Lifestyle and the Environment (ISCOLE).

ABSTRACT: We compared 24-hour waist-worn accelerometer wear time characteristics of 9-11 year old children in the International Study of Childhood Obesity, Lifestyle and the Environment (ISCOLE) to similarly aged U.S. children providing waking-hours waist-worn accelerometer data in the 2003-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).Valid cases were defined as having ?4 days with ?10 hours of waking wear time in a 24-hour period, including one weekend day. Previously published algorithms for extracting total sleep episode time from 24-hour accelerometer data and for identifying wear time (in both the 24-hour and waking-hours protocols) were applied. The number of valid days obtained and a ratio (percent) of valid cases to the number of participants originally wearing an accelerometer were computed for both ISCOLE and NHANES. Given the two surveys' discrepant sampling designs, wear time (minutes/day, hours/day) from U.S. ISCOLE was compared to NHANES using a meta-analytic approach. Wear time for the 11 additional countries participating in ISCOLE were graphically compared with NHANES.491 U.S. ISCOLE children (9.92±0.03 years of age [M±SE]) and 586 NHANES children (10.43?±?0.04 years of age) were deemed valid cases. The ratio of valid cases to the number of participants originally wearing an accelerometer was 76.7% in U.S. ISCOLE and 62.6% in NHANES. Wear time averaged 1357.0?±?4.2 minutes per 24-hour day in ISCOLE. Waking wear time was 884.4?±?2.2 minutes/day for U.S. ISCOLE children and 822.6?±?4.3 minutes/day in NHANES children (difference = 61.8 minutes/day, p

Project description:BackgroundWe present a model for reporting accelerometer paradata (process-related data produced from survey administration) collected in the International Study of Childhood Obesity Lifestyle and the Environment (ISCOLE), a multi-national investigation of >7000 children (averaging 10.5 years of age) sampled from 12 different developed and developing countries and five continents.MethodsISCOLE employed a 24-hr waist worn 7-day protocol using the ActiGraph GT3X+. Checklists, flow charts, and systematic data queries documented accelerometer paradata from enrollment to data collection and treatment. Paradata included counts of consented and eligible participants, accelerometers distributed for initial and additional monitoring (site specific decisions in the face of initial monitoring failure), inadequate data (e.g., lost/malfunction, insufficient wear time), and averages for waking wear time, valid days of data, participants with valid data (≥4 valid days of data, including 1 weekend day), and minutes with implausibly high values (≥20,000 activity counts/min).ResultsOf 7806 consented participants, 7372 were deemed eligible to participate, 7314 accelerometers were distributed for initial monitoring and another 106 for additional monitoring. 414 accelerometer data files were inadequate (primarily due to insufficient wear time). Only 29 accelerometers were lost during the implementation of ISCOLE worldwide. The final locked data file consisted of 6553 participant files (90.0% relative to number of participants who completed monitoring) with valid waking wear time, averaging 6.5 valid days and 888.4 minutes/day (14.8 hours). We documented 4762 minutes with implausibly high activity count values from 695 unique participants (9.4% of eligible participants and <0.01% of all minutes).ConclusionsDetailed accelerometer paradata is useful for standardizing communication, facilitating study management, improving the representative qualities of surveys, tracking study endpoint attainment, comparing studies, and ultimately anticipating and controlling costs.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01722500.

Project description:BackgroundGait event detection is critical for remote gait analysis. Algorithms using a thigh-worn accelerometer for estimating spatiotemporal gait variables have demonstrated clinical utility in monitoring the gait of patients with gait and balance impairment. However, one may obtain accurate estimates of spatiotemporal variables, but with biased estimates of foot contact and foot off events. Some biomechanical analyses depend on accurate gait phase segmentation, but previous studies using a thigh-worn accelerometer have not quantified the error in estimating foot contact and foot off events.MethodsGait events and spatiotemporal gait variables were estimated using a thigh-worn accelerometer from 32 healthy subjects across a range of walking speeds (0.56-1.78 m/s). Ground truth estimates were obtained using vertical ground reaction forces measured using a pressure treadmill. Estimation performance was quantified using absolute error, root mean square error, and correlation analysis.ResultsAcross all strides (N = 3,898), the absolute error in estimating foot contact, foot off, stride time, stance time, and swing time was similar to other accelerometer-based techniques (39 ± 28 ms, 28 ± 28 ms, 11 ± 14 ms, 46 ± 31 ms, and 45 ± 30 ms, respectively). The correlation between reference measurements and estimates of bout-average stride time, stance time, and swing time were 1.00, 0.92, and 0.80, respectively. The (5th, 95th) percentiles of the foot contact and foot off estimation errors were (-91 ms, 51 ms) and (-70 ms, 60 ms), the largest of which amounts to about three samples using the 31.25 Hz sampling frequency used in this study.SignificanceUse of the proposed algorithm for estimating spatiotemporal gait variables is supported by the strong correlations with reference measurements. The gait event estimation error distributions provide bounds on the estimated gait events for enforcing gait phase-dependent task constraints for biomechanical analysis.

Project description:BackgroundFor effective public health and surveillance it is important to document the proportion of young children who meet the new Australian Integrated 24 h Movement Guidelines for the Early Years and how these associate with health outcomes. We aimed to (i) assess compliance with the new Integrated 24 h Movement Guidelines for the Early Years in a sample of Australian toddlers; and (ii) ascertain whether compliance with the guidelines associates with weight status.MethodsThe sample comprised 202 toddlers (104 girls) aged 19.74 ± 4.07 months from the GET UP!StudyParticipants wore accelerometers (Actigraph GT3X+) for 24 h over 7 consecutive days to assess physical activity, sedentary time and sleep. Parents reported participants' screen time. Weight and height were measured and body mass index (BMI) z-scores by age and sex were calculated. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was performed to test differences in BMI z-scores between participants complying with (i) none or any individual guideline, (ii) any combination of meeting two guidelines, and (iii) those who met all three guidelines, adjusting for child age, gender and socioeconomic status.ResultsOnly 8.9% of the sample met the overall 24 h movement guidelines. Most of the sample met the physical activity (96.5%) and sleep (79.7%) guidelines but only 11.4% met the sedentary behavior guideline. Average BMI Z-scores did not significantly differ between children who complied with none or any individual guideline, any combination of meeting two guidelines, and those who met all three guidelines (p > 0.05). Although the lack of significant differences, participants who accomplished any combination of two guidelines or all three guidelines appear to have had a lower BMI Z-score than those complying with one of the guidelines or none.ConclusionsJust under 9% of our sample met the overall Australian 24 h Movement Guidelines for the Early Years. BMI was not associated with the accomplishment of any of the 24-h Movement Guidelines. Strategies to promote adherence to the 24-h movement guidelines in toddlers, particularly for screen time, are necessary, as promoting health-related behaviors in early childhood has the potential to provide children a strong foundation for lifelong physical and mental health.
