Abstract

Introduction: Lung transplant recipients are often physically inactive and are at risk of developing comorbidities. We investigated whether objectively measured physical activity was associated with the prevalence of comorbidities.

Methods: Physical activity (accelerometry) and the presence of cardiovascular disease, symptoms of depression and anxiety, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, lower extremity artery disease, muscle weakness, obesity, and osteoporosis were assessed in 108 lung transplant recipients. Patients were divided into four groups based on daily step count.

Results: A cohort of 108 patients (60 ± 7 years, 51% male, 20 ± 14 months since transplantation) was included. Active patients (>7,500 steps/day) had significantly fewer comorbidities (4 comorbidities) compared to severely inactive patients (<2,500 steps/day, 6 comorbidities), and muscle weakness and high symptoms of depression were less prevalent. Severely inactive patients had significantly more cardiovascular comorbidities compared to all other groups. No other significant differences were observed.

Conclusion: Physically active lung transplant recipients have fewer comorbidities, lower prevalence of muscle weakness, and fewer symptoms of depression compared to very inactive patients.

肺移植受者客观测量的体力活动量与合并症患病率之间的关系。

导言：肺移植受者通常缺乏体育锻炼，有患合并症的风险。我们研究了客观测量的体力活动是否与合并症的发生率有关。方法我们对 108 名肺移植受者的体力活动（加速度计）以及是否患有心血管疾病、抑郁和焦虑症状、糖尿病、血脂异常、高血压、下肢动脉疾病、肌无力、肥胖和骨质疏松症进行了评估。根据每日步数将患者分为四组。结果共纳入 108 名患者（60±7 岁，51% 为男性，移植后 20±14 个月）。与严重缺乏运动的患者（60±7 岁，51% 为男性，移植后 20±14 个月）相比，运动活跃的患者（每天大于 7500 步）的合并症（4 种合并症）明显较少。

期刊介绍： ''Respiration'' brings together the results of both clinical and experimental investigations on all aspects of the respiratory system in health and disease. Clinical improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of chest and lung diseases are covered, as are the latest findings in physiology, biochemistry, pathology, immunology and pharmacology. The journal includes classic features such as editorials that accompany original articles in clinical and basic science research, reviews and letters to the editor. Further sections are: Technical Notes, The Eye Catcher, What’s Your Diagnosis?, The Opinion Corner, New Drugs in Respiratory Medicine, New Insights from Clinical Practice and Guidelines. ''Respiration'' is the official journal of the Swiss Society for Pneumology (SGP) and also home to the European Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (EABIP), which occupies a dedicated section on Interventional Pulmonology in the journal. This modern mix of different features and a stringent peer-review process by a dedicated editorial board make ''Respiration'' a complete guide to progress in thoracic medicine.
