TABLE 1.

Definitions of circadian rest activity rhythm (CRAR) indices.

Definition
Cosinor indices
Amplitude Difference between the minimum and maximum activity value
Mesor Average activity over 24 h
Acrophase Time of maximum activity counts over 24 h
Non-parametric indices
Relative amplitude (RA) Metric of rhythm strength; normalized difference between most active 10 h and least active 5 h
Interdaily stability (IS) Stability of activity profiles over days
Intradaily variability (IV) Fragmentation of the rhythm relative to its 24-h amplitude
L5 time Midpoint of an individual’s L5 interval
M10 time Midpoint of an individual’s M10 interval
