Summary: | Previous studies have revealed that sedentary behavior, including quantitative and qualitative parameters, was associated with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients on chronic hemodialysis.
The present study examined the relationships between various parameters of prolonged sedentary bouts on non-hemodialysis days and HRQOL in patients on chronic hemodialysis.
A total of 110 patients (47.2%) on chronic hemodialysis (64 men and 46 women, aged 71.4 ± 11.2 years) among 233 patients, who were outpatients at a hospital in Hiroshima prefecture, Japan, were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Prolonged sedentary bouts were evaluated using a tri-accelerometer, i.e., sedentary behavior (minutes), median sedentary bouts (minutes), maximum sedentary bouts (minutes), sedentary bouts (bouts and minutes/bout), and prolonged sedentary bouts (≥5, ≥10, ≥30, and ≥60 minutes; bouts and minutes/bout). HRQOL was assessed using EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D).
The EQ-5D score was 0.755 ± 0.216. All prolonged sedentary parameters, except for sedentary bouts (bouts), correlated with HRQOL, and higher correlation coefficients were observed between sedentary behavior (minutes) and HRQOL (r = -0.416) and between maximum sedentary bouts (minutes) and HRQOL (r = -0.436) than between other parameters. These parameters were also identified as factors affecting HRQOL, even after adjustments for confounding factors.
In summary, sedentary behavior (minutes) and maximum sedentary bouts (minutes) on non-hemodialysis days, which may be representative of quantitative parameters for sedentary behavior, correlated with HRQOL in patients on chronic hemodialysis. |
