Adherence to Actigraphic Devices in Elementary School–Aged Children: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This review demonstrates generally high actigraphy adherence in primary school-aged children, particularly those with health conditions. However, observed variability indicates that adherence was much lower in some contexts, underscoring that the reported pooled adherence cannot be assumed across future actigraphy applications within this age group. Future research should use standardized adherence reporting and should plan for adherence variability.
