腕带活动跟踪器已在年轻人中广泛使用。然而，很少有研究探讨它们用于监测和改善老年人的健康状况。本研究的目的是评估活动跟踪器在老年人中用于监测活动，提高自我效能和健康结果的可行性和实用性。进行了一项为期12周的试点研究，以评估移动的腕带活动跟踪器的可行性和实用性。样本（N = 34）是65%的73.5 +/- 9.4岁的女性，她们拥有高中文凭或GED（38%），收入为0.009），但自我效能没有变化。参与者发现活动跟踪器易于使用，这有助于最小的研究退出。得出的结论是，活动跟踪器可能有助于监测和促进身体活动，并改善老年人的健康。(C)2015 Elsevier Inc.

Wristband activity trackers have become widely used among young adults. However, few studies have explored their use for monitoring and improving health outcomes among older adults. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and utility of activity tracker use among older adults for monitoring activity, improving self-efficacy, and health outcomes. A 12-week pilot study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility and utility of mobile wristband activity trackers. The sample (N = 34) was 65% women 73.5 +/- 9.4 years of age who had a high school diploma or GED (38%) and reported an income 0.009), however no change in self-efficacy. Participants found activity trackers easy to use which contributed to minimal study withdrawals. It was concluded that activity trackers could be useful for monitoring and promoting physical activity and improving older adults' health. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
