An understanding of physical activity (PA) and related health benefits remains limited in adults with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Raw acceleration data metrics may improve the quality of assessment and further this understanding. The study aimed to compare PA between people with CF (pwCF) and non-CF peers and examine associations between PA, vascular function and health outcome measures. PA was assessed in 62 participants (31 pwCF) using ActiGraph accelerometers. Vascular function (a marker of cardiovascular disease risk) was assessed using flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) in sub-groups of pwCF (n = 12) and matched controls. Average Euclidean norm minus one (ENMO) (total PA) was significantly lower ( = 0.005) in pwCF (35.09 ± 10.60 m), than their non-CF peers (44.62 ± 13.78 m). PwCF had PA profiles (intensity gradient) indicative of more time in lower intensity activity (-2.62 ± 0.20, -2.37 ± 0.23). Vigorous activity was positively associated with lung function ( = 0.359) and Quality of Life ( = 0.412). There were no significant differences ( = 0.313) in FMD% between pwCF (5.29 ± 2.76%) and non-CF peers (4.34 ± 1.58%) and no associations with PA. PwCF engaged in less moderate-to-vigorous PA and demonstrated a steeper PA profile than their non-CF peers.
对囊性纤维化 (CF) 成人的身体活动 (PA) 和相关健康益处的理解仍然有限。原始加速度数据指标可以提高评估质量,并进一步加深这种理解。本研究旨在比较 CF 患者 (pwCF) 和非 CF 同龄人之间的 PA,并检查 PA 与血管功能和健康结果测量之间的关联。使用 ActiGraph 加速度计评估 62 名参与者(31 名 pwCF)的 PA。在 pwCF 亚组(n = 12)和匹配对照中使用血流介导的扩张 (FMD) 评估血管功能(心血管疾病风险的标志物)。pwCF 的平均欧几里得范数减一 (ENMO)(总 PA)显著低于非 CF 同龄人(= 0.005)(35.09 ± 10.60 m),为 44.62 ± 13.78 m。pwCF 的 PA 分布(强度梯度)表明,处于低强度活动的时间更多(-2.62 ± 0.20,-2.37 ± 0.23)。剧烈活动与肺功能(= 0.359)和生活质量(= 0.412)呈正相关。pwCF 的 FMD%(5.29 ± 2.76%)与非 CF 同龄人(4.34 ± 1.58%)之间无显著差异(= 0.313),且与 PA 无关联。pwCF 进行的中等到剧烈 PA 较少,且表现出比非 CF 同龄人更陡峭的 PA 分布。
