Physical activity and relationship to physical function, quality of life, and cognitive function in older patients with acute decompensated heart failure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Volitional physical activity level is predictive of a variety of health outcomes, but has not been examined in patients recently hospitalized for acute decompensated HF (ADHF).

Methods

Ten to 14 days after index hospitalization for ADHF, 93 participants wore a wrist-mounted triaxial accelerometer (ActiGraph GT3X+) to objectively quantify sedentary behavior, light physical activity, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Levels were compared to 2 groups of age-matched NHANES participants: healthy and chronic, stable HF. The relationship between physical activity levels and physical function [Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)], HF-specific quality-of-life (QOL) [Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)], and cognition [Montreal Cognitive Assessme
