Regression equations generated from accelerometer-assessed TEE accounted for 46-74% of the variability in DLW-measured TEE.
The accelerometers can provide a reasonable estimate of TEE variability, but should be used with caution.

More from this paper
- 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.Strong
- Including simple variables such as body mass and sex in regression models improved the predictions of accelerometer-assessed TEE.Strong
