Development of an accelerometer age- and sex-specific approach based on population-standardized values for physical activity surveillance: A proof of concept
Our findings underscore the value of age-sex specific cut-points for global PA surveillance. MVPA defined with age-sex specific thresholds was associated with all-cause mortality and the dose‒response was similar for all ages and sexes. This aligns with the single recommendation of accumulating 150+ min/week MVPA for all adults, irrespective of age and sex. This study serves as a proof of concept to develop this methodology for PA surveillance over more advanced open-source acceleration metrics and other national and international cohorts.
