Key result
Among patients after percutaneous coronary intervention, 80.1% fulfilled the 2020 WHO physical activity guidelines, whereas only 18.4% fulfilled the 2010 WHO guidelines requiring ≥10-minute bouts.
Why the study?
The potential impact of the recent WHO guidelines removing the daily recommended physical activity bout duration on patients after PCI remained unclear.
Does the removal of the 10-minute bout requirement in the 2020 WHO physical activity guidelines change the prevalence of adherence among patients after PCI?
Population
282 patients after PCI for chronic or acute coronary syndrome
Comparison
2010 vs 2020 WHO physical activity guidelines vs 7,500 and 10,000 steps
Design
Observational longitudinal single-center study
Follow-up
18 days

Most post-PCI patients meet 2020 but not 2010 PA guidelines via short bouts; leaves open whether bout duration affects outcomes.

Does the removal of the 10-minute bout requirement in the 2020 WHO physical activity guidelines change the prevalence of adherence among patients after PCI?
Absolute Event Rate: 80.1% vs 18.4%
The removal of the 10-minute bout requirement in the 2020 WHO guidelines leads to a fourfold increase in the proportion of post-PCI patients classified as meeting physical activity recommendations, suggesting daily step counts may be a more consistent metric.
Eser et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (post-PCI) (n=282). 2020 WHO physical activity guidelines criteria vs. 2010 WHO physical activity guidelines criteria was evaluated on Prevalence of adherence to physical activity recommendations. Among patients after percutaneous coronary intervention, 80.1% fulfilled the 2020 WHO physical activity guidelines, whereas only 18.4% fulfilled the 2010 WHO guidelines requiring ≥10-minute bouts.
