Why the study?
Is there an association between nocturnal actigraphic sleep measures and daytime physical activity in patients with COPD?
Is there an association between nocturnal actigraphic sleep measures and daytime physical activity in patients with COPD?
Identifying specific sleep characteristics in COPD patients may be useful when designing physical activity-enhancing interventions.
Nocturnal sleep measures were associated with daytime activity in COPD; hypothesis-generating for sleep-targeted interventions, pending prospective confirmation.
There is a relationship between measures of sleep in patients with COPD and the amount of activity they undertake during the waking day. Identifying groups with specific sleep characteristics may be useful information when designing physical activity-enhancing interventions.
