Implementation of Thigh Worn Accelerometry (Pt1) - Propass Webinar - Dr Matt Brown and Prof. Mark Hamer

This is audio from ProPASS ECR network webinar. In the second webinar (24th November) we will hear from Dr Matt Brown and Prof. Mark Hamer on the implementation of thigh worn accelerometry in the 1970 British Cohort Study. In 2016 a biomedical sweep of the 1970 British Cohort study included 7 day thigh worn accelerometry measures. Matt and Mark's talk will focus on the implementation of the accelerometry data collection.

The Prospective Physical Activity, Sitting and Sleep consortium (ProPASS)

ProPASS is an international research collaboration platform of cohorts using thigh-worn accelerometry to explore the effects of physical activity, posture, and sleep patterns on a wide range of health outcomes. The objectives of the consortium are:

• to establish a pooled data resource on physical activity, posture allocation, sleep, and health outcomes;

• to develop methods for processing, harmonising, and pooling data of existing such studies;

• to develop methods for collecting data for future studies (prospective harmonization);

The ultimate goal of the ProPASS consortium as a data resource is to promote collaborative individual participant and prospective meta-analyses on physical activity, posture, and sleep.
