Accelerometers revealed a fivefold variation in physical activity among healthy 5 year old children. They singled out habitually inactive children, most of them girls, who did little, whether at school or over the weekend. Accelerometers are of potential value in identifying, from an early age, children at risk of becoming obese.
加速度计显示,健康的5岁儿童的身体活动水平存在五倍的差异。他们找出了习惯性不活跃的儿童,其中大多数是女孩,这些孩子无论是在学校还是在周末都很少活动。加速度计在从小识别有肥胖风险的儿童方面具有潜在价值。
