Association between physical activity based on wearables and self-reported health status among adolescents: NHANES 2011-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical activity (PA) was strongly associated with health status, with fewer related studies in adolescents (12-19 years). Most current studies using questionnaires to assess PA levels were not objective enough. So, this study used a wearable device to assess PA levels quantitatively and focused on the association between PA levels and self-reported 4 health status among adolescents.

Methods

Data were obtained from adolescents (2241) with both PA and health status assessments from two cycles of NHANES, 2011-2014, using a wearable accelerometer-based device to assess PA levels quantitatively, MIMS-units as the metric, averaging over all valid days of wear (MIMS-units average). There were 4 health statuses, including (1) whether or not flu, pneumonia, or ear infect
