The purpose of this study was to examine the use of tracker devices to record daily activity (calories) and its associations with gender, generation, BMI, and physical activity behavior of United States of America resident adults; a cross-sectional study in 892 subjects recruited to participate in an anonymous online survey was performed. Being female increased the odds of using a tracker device by 2.3 times. Having low cardiovascular disease mortality risk related to time spent sitting increased the odds for using a tracker device by 2.7 times, and having medium risk 1.9 times, with respect to having high risk. For every 1-point increase in BMI, the odds for using a tracker device increased by 5.2%. Conclusions: Subjects who had ever used any tracker device had a higher BMI. The use of tracker devices was related to lower cardiovascular disease mortality risk related to sitting time. The amount of physical activity and the time spent walking were not associated with the usage of tracker devices. It is possible that the user of tracker devices should be supported by professionals to implement deep change in health habits. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.9 2022 CHEMISTRY, ANALYTICAL 26 / 86 = 0.302 2022 Q2 T1 INSTRUMENTS & INSTRUMENTATION 19 / 63 = 0.302 2022 Q2 T1 ENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC 100 / 274 = 0.365 2022 Q2 T2 0.764 2022 Instrumentation 2022 Q1 Analytical Chemistry 2022 Q1 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2022 Q2 Information Systems 2022 Q2 Biochemistry 2022 Q2 Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics 2022 Q2 Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2022 Q2 6.8 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Lucha-López, María Orosia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9930-3903 Hidalgo García, César Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7667-2178 Vidal-Peracho, María Concepción Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1444-7949 Monti-Ballano, Sofía Universidad de Zaragoza Tricás-Moreno, José Miguel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3583-5206 1007 610 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
