24 h-accelerometry in epidemiological studies: automated detection of non-wear time in comparison to diary information

Abstract Estimation of physical activity using 24 h-accelerometry requires detection of accelerometer non-wear time (NWT). It is common practice to define NWT as periods >60 minutes of consecutive zero-accelerations, but this algorithm was originally developed for waking hours only and its applic...
