#ActiGraph
Questions for the crowd:

* Is there ANY known route/firmware quirk to recover sub-second wake phase in ActiGraph GT3X+ devices?
* With 0.3–0.8s timing noise, which coupling metrics cleanly separate true lagged coordination from jittered simultaneous co-movement?
* Other non-circular anchor ideas?

CRAN: Package actiRhythm
Quantifies the circadian rest-activity rhythm, the roughly 24-hour cycle of activity and rest, from activity counts and raw accelerometer recordings. Analyses run on an activity-count vector and its timestamps, and a built-in reader loads 'ActiGraph' '.agd' files (an 'SQLite' database) directly. Computes nonparametric metrics (interdaily stability (IS) and intradaily variability (IV) following Witting et al.

#rstats
https://cran.r-project.org/package=stepmetrics
CRAN: Package stepmetrics
Provides functions to calculate step- and cadence-based metrics from timestamped accelerometer and wearable device data. Supports CSV and AGD files from 'ActiGraph' devices, CSV files from 'Fitbit' devices, and step counts derived with R package 'GGIR' &lt;<a href="https://github.com/wadpac/GGIR" target="_top">https://github.com/wadpac/GGIR</a>&gt;, with automatic handling of epoch lengths from 1 to 60 seconds. Metrics include total steps, cadence peaks, minutes and steps in predefined cadence bands, and time and steps in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Methods and thresholds are informed by the literature, e.g., Tudor-Locke and Rowe (2012) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.2165%2F11599170-000000000-00000" target="_top">doi:10.2165/11599170-000000000-00000</a>&gt;, Barreira et al.

每周一到两天步行逾 4 千步与老年女性更低的心脏病和死亡风险相关

根据发表在《The British Journal of Sports Medicine》期刊上的一项研究,Mass General Brigham 的研究人员分析了 13,547 名年长女性一周的步行数和十年内的死亡率和心血管疾病发病率,发现每周一到两天步行数达到 4,000 步与更低的死亡和心血管疾病风险相关——步数越多,益处越大,直至风险降低至一定水平。这些女性的平均年龄是 71.8 岁,她们在 2011 年至 2015 年间佩戴 ActiGraph GT3X+ 加速度计追踪一周的步数。根据每周步行数她们被分成 4,00
