To investigate the use of physical activity monitors (PAMs) for the elderly, the scientific literature should be systematically reviewed and the effect quantified, as the evidence seems inconclusive.
Randomized controlled trials and randomized crossover trials, with participants with a mean age above 65 years, comparing any PAM intervention with other control interventions or no intervention, will be included. This protocol is detailed according to the recommendations of the Cochrane Handbook, and it is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols statement.
We will present results from the search in a flow diagram. The results from the analyses will include regular meta-analyses, stratified analyses, and meta-regressions. The results on each outcome of interest will be presented in a summary of findings table.
This paper will explore and analyze the heterogeneity of the results and try to identify variables that will enhance the effect of PAMs in elderly. The results will be useful to researchers working with elderly and/or PAMs, health care professionals working with elderly, and relatives together with the elderly themselves.

为了研究老年人使用身体活动监测器(PAMs)的情况,应系统地综述科学文献并量化其效果,因为目前证据似乎并不明确。
本研究将纳入随机对照试验和随机交叉试验,参与者的平均年龄在 65 岁以上,将 PAMs 干预与其他对照干预或无干预进行比较。本方案根据 Cochrane 手册的建议详细制定,并按照系统评价和荟萃分析方案报告标准进行报告。
我们将以流程图的形式展示搜索结果。分析结果将包括常规荟萃分析、分层分析和荟萃回归。将在“发现总结表”中呈现每个感兴趣结局的结果。
本文将探讨和分析结果的异质性,并尝试确定可增强 PAMs 对老年人效果的变量。研究结果将对从事老年人和/或 PAMs 研究的研究人员、从事老年人护理的医疗保健专业人员以及与老年人一起的亲属有帮助。
