Pedometer counts superior to physical activity scale for identifying health markers in older adults
Ben Ewald,Mark McEvoy,John Attia +2 more
TL;DR: Pedometer-derived step counts are a more valid measurement of overall physical activity in this sample than PASE score, and researchers should use objective measures of physical activity whenever possible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rochelle L. Ryan,Bruce R. King,Donald G. Anderson,John Attia,Clare E. Collins,Carmel E. Smart +5 more

Tonelle Handley,Kerry J. Inder,Frances Kay-Lambkin,Frances Kay-Lambkin,Helen J. Stain,Michael Fitzgerald,Terry J. Lewin,John Attia,John Attia,Brian Kelly +9 more
