Device-measured physical activity and sedentary time in a national sample of Luxembourg residents: the ORISCAV-LUX 2 study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Existing information about population physical activity (PA) levels and sedentary time in Luxembourg are based on self-reported data.

Methods

This observational study included Luxembourg residents aged 18-79y who each provided ≥4 valid days of triaxial accelerometry in 2016-18 (n=1122). Compliance with the current international PA guideline (≥150 min moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) per week, irrespective of bout length) was quantified and variability in average 24h acceleration (indicative of PA volume), awake-time PA levels, sedentary time and accumulation pattern were analysed by linear regression. Data were weighted to be nationally representative.

Results

Participants spent 51% of daily time sedentary (mean (95% confidence interval (CI)): 12.1 (12.0 to 1
