This cross-sectional study aimed to compare the accelerometer-assessed physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) of adults with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) attending or not attending a small-scale community workshop (SSCW). A total of 18 adults with PWS were recruited in this study. Of these participants, 10 regularly attended an SSCW and 8 did not. All of the participants were asked to wear accelerometers for eight continuous days for measuring their PA and SB. The independent sample -test was used. The results showed that the adults with PWS who attended the SSCW engaged in more moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and daily steps than those who did not. By stratifying between daytime/nighttime on weekdays, we found the participants who attended the SSCW had higher total PA, MVPA, daily steps, as well as lower total sedentary time, during the daytime on weekdays than those who did not. Policies or programs promoting PA and reducing SB among adults with PWS should thus consider providing structured programs or courses in a community center.
本横断面研究旨在比较参加或不参加小规模社区研讨会（SSCW）的成年 Prader-Willi 综合征（PWS）患者的加速度计评估的身体活动（PA）和久坐行为（SB）。本研究共招募了 18 名成年 PWS 患者。其中，10 名患者定期参加 SSCW，8 名患者不参加。所有参与者均被要求佩戴加速度计连续 8 天，以测量其 PA 和 SB。采用独立样本 t 检验。结果表明，参加 SSCW 的 PWS 成年患者的中高强度体力活动（MVPA）和每日步数多于未参加者。通过工作日白天/夜间分层，我们发现与不参加者相比，参加 SSCW 的参与者在工作日白天的总 PA、MVPA、每日步数更高，而总久坐时间更低。因此，促进 PWS 成年患者 PA 和减少 SB 的政策或计划应考虑在社区中心提供结构化的计划或课程。
