Improving Hip-Worn Accelerometer Estimates of Sitting Using Machine Learning Methods

Conclusions This is among the first algorithms for sitting and standing for hip-worn accelerometer data to be trained from entirely free-living activPAL data. The new algorithm detected prolonged sitting, which has been shown to be the most detrimental to health. Further validation and training in larger cohorts is warranted.
