Energy Expenditure in Institutionalized Older Adults: Validation of Sensewear Mini

Objective methods to quantify physical activity (PA) and predict energy expenditure (EE) are needed in the old and old-old. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the validity of EE estimates by the Sensewear Mini (SWMini) compared with indirect calorimetry during daily life activities in inst...

Zusammenfassung:Objective methods to quantify physical activity (PA) and predict energy expenditure (EE) are needed in the old and old-old. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the validity of EE estimates by the Sensewear Mini (SWMini) compared with indirect calorimetry during daily life activities in institutionalized older adults.
