Recommendations for collecting and processing accelerometry data in elderly people.
Due to the large variety of methods for collecting and analyzing accelerometer data to assess physical activity, it is difficult to compare results from different studies. Therefore, this work aims to provide recommendations for the collection and processing of such data in older people, focusing on the assessment of wearing time and intensity levels.
