Challenges and opportunities related to the objective assessment of physical activity within U.S. health surveys
Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..
Public health surveillance is a vital component in the assessment of health-related behaviors such as physical activity (PA). With multiple active national health surveys in the United States, questions arise about how data are collected, what each data source contributes to the overall knowledge base about PA and health outcomes, and how to interpret PA data from different data sources to gain an understanding about PA at the population level. This article highlights specifically the challenges and opportunities with using wearable devices in population-level PA assessment. A major challenge faced by PA assessment researchers is that of which assessment methods and evaluation tools to use and under what circumstances to use them. This article discusses issues related to (1) what device to use, (2) how to collect data, (3) how to process data, (4) how to analyze the data, and (5) how to report the procedures used. These decisions shape not only the data collection process including collection time and cost but also directly impact data analysis and subsequently the outcomes of interest. This article discusses the implications of using different assessment methods and evaluation tools and how the use of sensor-based tools may impact the future of PA assessment at the population level. There are a number of opportunities emerging for population-level assessment of PA due in part to the technological advances occurring with wearable technology. These opportunities may afford surveillance systems new data streams to bolster what is currently being collected to provide more robust estimates of PA and other health behaviors. The article concludes with some discussion about how the landscape of population-level PA assessment is changing, thanks to increasing opportunities to collect wearable device data. With new data streams becoming available through advanced wearable devices containing multiple sensor types and the opportunity for corporate partnerships, the way PA is being assessed could change considerably in the near future. While acknowledging the limitations of wearable technology, it is an exciting time for PA assessment, given the possibilities on the horizon.
