AbstractSome medical conditions and risk factors are associated with differences in mobility, such as affective disorders and psychiatric conditions (Cruz-Jimenez, 2017). Some studies have already investigated the use of inertial sensors to identify specific health conditions, such as Parkinson's disease, changes in balance, postural control, gait, falls, and frailty (Ponciano et al. 2020), however, there is no research that gathers information about the influence of factors such as cardiovascular risk, hypertension, and diabetes on accelerometry features based on human gait. The aim of this study was to identify which accelerometry features extracted from the use of a triaxial accelerometer during 7 days of activities of daily living are associated with cardiovascular risk, hypertension, and diabetes.Keywords: accelerometer, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular risk, gait
