The obese have been reported to have a lower NEAT (walking, standing, and fidgeting) than controls. We hypothesize that an elevated NEAT could explain why some patients with anorexia nervosa are resistant to weight gain. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the interrater reliability of a rating of non-exercise activity of inpatients with eating disorders (ED) using a visual analogue scale (VAS). METHOD: Health care providers were asked to rate the non-exercise activity of inpatients by marking a VAS. RESULTS: Eight patients were individually rated by 10 clinicians. Results were analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cohen’s multi-rater kappa statistic (?). The ICC(3,k) was 0.257 (p |
