Estimating energy expenditure from accelerometer data in healthy adults and patients with type 2 diabetes

The aim of this study was to develop specific prediction equations based on acceleration data measured at three body sites for estimating energy expenditure (EE) during static and active conditions in middle-aged and older adults with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D).Forty patients with T2D (age: 40-74 yr, body mass index (BMI): 21-29.4 kg·m-2) and healthy participants (age: 47-79 yr, BMI: 20.2-29.8 kg·m-2) completed trials in both static...
