Abstract
Activity counts obtained with the Actiwatch under free-living conditions do not reflect TEE in 4- to 6-year-old children and are not correlated with percentage fat mass. Therefore, average total activity counts obtained with the Actiwatch may be of limited value in identifying children at risk for becoming obese.
