Table 2. Spearman correlation coefficients between total energy expenditure (TEE) and physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) by doubly labeled water and physical activity by accelerometry and questionnaire.

TEE (kcal/day) PAEE (kcal/day)
Physical activity Rho P Rho P
Accelerometry (min/day)
Sedentary −0.32 0.12 −0.20 0.34
Light 0.32 0.11 0.43 0.04
Moderate 0.56 **0.004 0.61 <0.01
Vigorous 0.23 0.27 0.37 0.07
Moderate-vigorous 0.57 **0.003 0.62 <0.01
Questionnaire (min/wk)
Physical activity 0.41 *0.04 0.30 0.15

Spearman's rank coefficients (Rho) are based on kilocalories per day of Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) and Physical Activity Energy Expenditure (PAEE).
