Energy balance
The three evaluated accelerometers provided estimates of total energy expenditure (TEE) differing significantly from TEE measured by doubly labeled water (DLW), with differences ranging from -690 to 220 kcal/d.
Practitioners should be cautious when using these accelerometers for TEE estimation as they may not provide fully accurate results.
StrongQualifiesmedium confidence
The three evaluated accelerometers provided estimates of TEE differing significantly from TEE measured by DLW (-690 to 220 kcal/d; pooled SE 44 kcal/d; p<0.0001).
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving multiple sites and a clear comparison to a gold standard.
