GGIR actigraphy feature calculations.

Feature GGIR part5_daysummary Feature Calculation Description
Duration of MVPA Fragments (mins) FRAG_mean_dur_MVPA_day The average duration (in minutes) of detected moderate-to-vigorous physical activity fragments.
Duration of Physical Activity During Sleep Period (mins) dur_spt_wake_LIG_min + dur_spt_wake_MOD_min + dur_spt_wake_VIG_min The measured duration of physical activity (light, moderate, vigorous) (in minutes) during the sleep period.
Duration of Sleep During Sleep Period (mins) dur_spt_sleep_min The measured duration of sleep (‘sustained inactivity bouts’) (in minutes) during the sleep period.
Duration of Wakeful Inactivity During Sleep Period (mins) dur_spt_wake_IN_min The measured duration of physical activity not considered to be sleep or light/moderate/vigorous physical activity during the sleep period.
Number of Blocks of Physical Activity During Sleep Period (#) Nblocks_spt_wake_LIG + Nblocks_spt_wake_MOD + Nblocks_spt_wake_VIG The number of total blocks of physical activity (light, moderate, vigorous) that occurred during the sleep period.
Number of Blocks of Sleep During Sleep Period (#) Nblocks_spt_sleep The number of total blocks of sleep that occurred during the sleep period.
Number of Blocks of Wakeful Inactivity During Sleep Period (#) Nblocks_spt_wake_IN The number of total blocks not considered to be sleep or light/moderate/vigorous physical activity that occurred during the sleep period.
Number of MVPA Fragments (#) FRAG_Nfrag_MVPA_day The number of fragments of moderate/vigorous activity that occurred per day (part of the behavioral fragmentation analysis methodology) (39).
Number of Sustained Inactivity Bouts During Wake Period (#) See “Description” Derived using GGIR ms3.out list “sib.cla.sum” – the total number of SIBs occurring within the defined waking period and not falling within a period of suspected non-wear.
Duration of Sustained Inactivity Bouts During Wake Period (min) See “Description” Derived using GGIR ms3.out list “sib.cla.sum” – the average duration of SIBs in minutes occurring within the defined waking period and not falling within a period of suspected non-wear.
Sleep Efficiency (%) sleep_efficiency The percentage of time spent asleep during the entire sleep period.
