摘要

We read with interest the article by Cavanaugh and colleagues (1) concerning the natural ambulatory activity patterns of older community-dwelling adults. The use of nonlinear analysis to describe habitual activity is an area of emerging research, prompted by the limited value in reporting the amount of physical activity, such as the number of steps walked in a day. Timing, duration, and variability of activity may be relevant to health and successful ageing. Accelerometry enables the long-term objective monitoring of physical activity; however, the theoretical basis for the description of physical activity and the analytical techniques used to deal with the complexity of these data are lacking. Cavanaugh's analysis is based on Paraschiv-Ionescu's work (2); namely the application of fractal and information theory technique to look at patterns of physical activity of older adults; however, the authors' rationale for applying these specific nonlinear measures is harder to discern.
