Conn, Vicki S.; Minor, Marian A.; Mehr, David R.

American Journal of Health Behavior, v24 n5 p370-78 Sep-Oct 2000

Examined the association of TriTrac-recorded activity among older women with commonly-used measures of activity and associated constructs. A moderate correlation was found between TriTrac and the main criterion measure, the Physical Activity Index. Respondents wore the TriTrac units only 78 percent of the requested days and underreported time not wearing the TriTrac. (SM)
