Key result
Clinical and demographic factors including slower gait speed, confirmed HFpEF, and higher BMI were associated with lower physical activity levels (adjusted R2 0.47).
Why the study?
The study aimed to objectively measure physical activity in participants with suspected HFpEF and assess associations between physical activity and participant characteristics.

PA measurement in suspected HFpEF links to clinical traits; leaves open whether modifying these traits improves outcomes.

What are the clinical and demographic correlates of accelerometer-measured physical activity in patients with suspected HFpEF?
Effect estimate: Adjusted R2 0.47
Patients with confirmed HFpEF have very low physical activity levels, which are strongly correlated with slower gait speed, depression, higher BMI, and past smoking.
Lin et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Suspected heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) (n=124). Clinical and demographic characteristics was evaluated on Physical activity levels (Adjusted R2 0.47). Clinical and demographic factors including slower gait speed, confirmed HFpEF, and higher BMI were associated with lower physical activity levels (adjusted R2 0.47).
