Abstract EN
Assessment of physical activity in morbidly obese subjects is important especially in bariatric surgery.
We examined the validity of Intelligent Device for Energy Expenditure and Activity (IDEEA) for measuring physical activity and sedentary behavior in morbidly obese women.
Activity types, gait counts, and speed detected by the IDEEA monitor were compared to those reported by an observer.
The IDEEA monitor detected activity types and gait counts with relatively high accuracy, although slightly lower in extremely obese women than in normal weight controls.
The IDEEA monitor accurately estimated gait speeds in both groups.
Since gait speed predicts energy expenditure more accurately than gait counts, it is of greater clinical relevance.
Reliability of the IDEEA monitor was excellent.
The IDEEA monitor is a valid instrument for measuring physical activity and sedentary behavior in extremely obese women, and therefore has potential applications in bariatric surgery both in preoperative evaluation and long-term follow-up.
