Table 5.

Minutes per day of sedentary behavior based on accelerometry, for sample data of 114 older women with different cut-points based on a review of the available literature

Sedentary cut-point (counts/min) Mean of average min/day (SD) Mean (SD) % of day spent in sedentary time Mean difference (SD) +/− 1.96
≤50 474.8 (77.2) 61.5 (8.0) −47.40 (11.92) 23.35
<100 522.2 (78.3) 67.7 (7.8) Reference Reference
<200 581.2 (77.9) 75.3 (7.4) 58.94 (14.49) 28.40
<260 604.2 (76.9) 78.5 (7.1) 82.95 (19.54) 38.31
<500 665.2 (72.1) 86.3 (5.9) 142.98 (32.18) 63.07

The table includes mean minutes of sedentary behavior per day and the mean difference (SD = +/− 1.96) of different cut-points compared with the mostly frequently used cut-point (<100 counts/min) based on the results from Bland-Altman methods
