Associations between device-measured physical activity and performance-based physical function outcomes in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the association between device-measured physical activity (PA) and performance-based measures of physical function (PF). Databases searched included CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science (last search conducted on November 11, 2022). Observational studies (cross-sectional or prospective) reporting associations between wearable device-measured PA and PF outcomes in non-clinical adults were eligible. Forty-two studies with a pooled sample of 27 276 participants were eligible, with 34 studies reporting a standardised regression coefficient (β) between at least one of four PA measures and one of six PF outcomes. All measures of PA were positively associated with all measures of PF, except for step count with gri
