000148779 5203_ $$aPhysical activity measured by accelerometry (PA-accelerometry) is used as an indicator of physical capacity in chronic diseases. Currently, only fragmented age ranges of reference percentile curves are available for European children and adolescents. This study aimed to provide age- and sex-specific percentiles for physical activity measured by hip-worn accelerometry derived throughout the full age range of European children and adolescents. Individual-level population-based PA data measured by accelerometry from HELENA and IDEFICS/I.Family studies were pooled and harmonized. Together these studies involved children and adolescents aged 2–18 years from 12 European countries. Primary outcomes included averaged counts per minute (CPM), sedentary time (SED), light PA (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale and Shape were used to derive age- and sex-specific reference percentile curves for these outcomes. The combined cohort consisted of 11,645 children and adolescents aged 2 to 18 years who contributed 14,610 valid accelerometry recordings, with a median accelerometer wear time of 6 days. This dataset allowed for the construction of age- and sex-specific reference percentile curves for CPM, SED, LPA, and MVPA. The curves demonstrated varying trends and variability across age groups. Conclusions: This study provides age- and sex-specific percentile curves for PA-accelerometry in European children and adolescents, addressing a current gap in the availability of full-age range reference data. These curves based on healthy children and adolescents can be used by clinicians, researchers, and policymakers to interpret PA-accelerometry measurements, track physical activity trends, and evaluate treatment responses and health interventions.
