No results posted yet for this study

Summary

One way to assess impacts of nutrition supplements to health is to measure physical activity. Physical activity can be measured with small devices called "accelerometers". Before they can be used, the devices need to be validated in the population in question. Objectives of this study are to test accelerometers in field conditions and validate their use in 16-18 months old Malawian toddlers. This study does not have a pre-set hypothesis.
