GENEActiv accelerometer files collected during the project entitled "Cultures et comportements alimentaires de la jeunesse dans les pays francophones du Pacifique au XXIème siècle: exemple de la Nouvelle-Calédonie" [Eng: "Eating cultures and behaviors of young people in French-speaking Pacific countries in the 21st century: the example of New Caledonia"] (anonymized version - third part)

GENEActiv accelerometer .csv files converted with a 1 second epoch from raw GENEActiv .bin files recorded during the project entitled "Cultures et comportements alimentaires de la jeunesse dans les pays francophones du Pacifique au XXIème siècle: exemple de la Nouvelle-Calédonie" [en: "Eating cultures and behaviors of young people in French-speaking Pacific countries in the 21st century: the example of New Caledonia"]. Devices are 60-Hz triaxial accelerometers.

This dataset also contains participantCharacteristics.csv that povides basic information about participants and read_a_binFile_share.R that is a short R code aiming at converting and saving accelerometer data from .bin files in 1 second epoch .csv files (consider the Methods section).

Participant characteristics: 10 to 16 years old students and some parents.

Number of participants: 231 (206 adolescents + 25 adults).

Year of the study: 2018 - 2019.

Place of the study: New Caledonia.

The accelerometer .csv files with a 1 second epoch and extracted from raw .bin files are available in open datasets:

anonymized version - first part

anonymized version - second part

anonymized version - third part

The accelerometer raw .bin files are available in restricted datasets:

non-anonymized version - first part

non-anonymized version - second part

non-anonymized version - third part

Other participant characteristics (age, place of living, cultural community and socio-economic status) are available in a restricted non-anonymized dataset.
