Objectives: To investigate the agreement between two data reduction approaches for detecting sedentary breaks from uni-axial accelerometry data collected in human participants. Free-living, uni-axial accelerometer data (n = 318) were examined for sedentary breaks using two different methods (Healy-Matthews; MAH/UFFE). The data were cleaned and reduced using MAH/UFFE Analyzer software and custom Microsoft Excel macro's, such that the average daily sedentary break number were calculated for each data record, for both methods.
Results: The Healy-Matthews and MAH/UFFE average daily break number correlated closely (R = 99.9%) and there was high agreement (mean difference: + 0.7 breaks/day; 95% limits of agreement: - 0.06 to + 1.4 breaks/day). A slight bias of approximately + 1 break/day for the MAH/UFFE Analyzer was evident for both the regression and agreement analyses. At a group level there were no statistically or practically significant differences within sample groups between the two methods.

From physical activity patterns to cognitive status: development and validation of novel digital biomarkers for cognitive assessment in older adults.
Int J Behav Nutr Phys Act

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: This study aims to investigate the associations between signal-level physical activity (PA) features derived from wrist accelerometry data and cognitive status in older adults, and to evaluate their potential predictive value when combined with demographics.
Methods: We analyzed PA data from 3,363 older adults (NHATS: n = 747; NHANES: n = 2,616), with each participant contributing a complete 3-day continuous activity sequence. We extracted the most relevant PA features associated with cognitive function using feature engineering and recursive feature elimination.

Objective: To determine if wrist-worn sensor parameters can predict incident dementia in individuals aged 60 + years and to compare prediction with other tools.
Design: Observational cohort study.
Setting: Community PARTICIPANTS: The cohort comprised 47,371 participants without dementia, aged 60 + years, who participated in the UK Biobank study (mean age=67 ± 4 years; 52 % female).
Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity at any Dose Reduces All-Cause Dementia Risk Regardless of Frailty Status.

Department of Biostatistics, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Objectives: Reaching the moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) recommendations of 150 min/wk is difficult for older adults, particularly among those living with frailty and its associated risk of dementia. We examined the dose-response relationship between MVPA and dementia risk among at-risk persons living with and without frailty enrolled in the UK Biobank study.
Design: Survival analysis within a prospective cohort study.

Purpose: Social support, particularly from family, is crucial for physical activity (PA) among youth. This study examined the association between father support and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in Latina pre-teens and explored the moderating role of body mass index (BMI).
Design: Cross-sectional analysis.

Objective: To evaluate psychometrics of wearable devices measuring physical activity (PA) in ambulant children with gait abnormalities due to neuromuscular conditions.
Data Sources: We searched PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus in March 2023.
Study Selection: We included studies if (1) participants were ambulatory children (2-19y) with gait abnormalities, (2) reliability and validity were analyzed, and (3) peer-reviewed studies in the English language and full-text were available.
