Active wearable device utilization improved physical performance and IGF-1 among community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults: a 12-month prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Wearable devices provide real-time and patient-powered data that enable the development of personalized health promotion and management programs. This study aimed to explore the clinical benefits of using the wearable device and to examine associated factors, utilization patterns on health status. 319 community-living adults aged 50-85 years were enrolled and clinically followed for 12 months. Participants were categorized into 3 groups based on the wearable device utilization patterns (active: >30 days of use, non-active: <3 days of use, usual: 3-30 days of use). 128 (40.1%) and 98(30.7%) were active and usual wearable device users, and no significant differences in the baseline demographic characteristics and functional status were noted across groups. Higher cognitive performance was si
