Key result
High sedentary behavior in heart failure patients was associated with significantly greater depression and poorer sleep and quality of life compared to low sedentary behavior.
Why the study?
There is a paucity of longitudinal follow-up studies examining factors related to sedentary behaviour from physical-psychosocial perspectives in patients with heart failure.

Population
128 heart failure patients from two large medical centres in northern Taiwan
Comparison

Sedentary behaviour factors in HF warrant validation; leaves open whether targeting self-efficacy or support improves outcomes in trials.

What are the multidimensional associated factors and impacts of sedentary behaviour in heart failure patients?
Sedentary behaviour is common in heart failure patients and is significantly associated with poorer sleep, quality of life, and depression, highlighting the need for targeted physical activity programs.
Chen et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Heart failure (n=128). High sedentary behaviour vs. Low sedentary behaviour was evaluated on Variance in sedentary behaviour and impacts on depression, sleep, and quality of life. High sedentary behavior in heart failure patients was associated with significantly greater depression and poorer sleep and quality of life compared to low sedentary behavior.
