Agreement Between Apple Watch and Actical Step Counts in a Community Setting: Cross-Sectional Investigation From the Framingham Heart Study

All participants provided written informed consent and the institutional review board at Boston University Medical Center approved the study protocols (H-32132). During the 8-day wear period, participants were asked to remove the Actical accelerometer (Philips Respironics, model numbers 198-0302-xx, Respironics Co Inc) each night for sleep and when bathing or swimming. Actical data were recorded in 30-second epochs and expressed as counts (or steps) per 30 seconds.

Relations Between BMI Trajectories and Habitual Physical Activity Measured by a Smartwatch in the Electronic Cohort of the Framingham Heart Study: Cohort Study

Relations Between BMI Trajectories and Habitual Physical Activity Measured by a Smartwatch in the Electronic Cohort of the Framingham Heart Study: Cohort Study

The study protocol was approved by the Boston University Medical Center Institutional Review Board (H-36586 and H-32132). All participants provided informed consent. At each examination visit in the FHS research center, trained personnel routinely measured participant’s weight to the nearest pound and height to the nearest quarter-inch, using uniform measuring devices. BMI was calculated by dividing the participant’s weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters (kg/m2).
