Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to identify factors that are associated with physical activity after hospitalization in persons living with dementia.
Methods: Multiple linear regressions were conducted to test factors associated with objective activity levels (sedentary, low, moderate, and vigorous) among 244 patients living with dementia from a randomized controlled trial.
Results: Within 48 hours of hospital discharge, time in sedentary behavior was associated with increased pain (β=0.164, P =0.015). Time in low activity was associated with less pain (β=-0.130, P =0.049) and higher physical function (β=0.300, P =<0.001). Time in moderate activity was associated with increased physical function (β=0.190, P =0.008) and male gender (β=0.155, P =0.016). No significant associations of potential factors were found with time in vigorous activity.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that managing or reducing pain, encouraging individual functional level, and gender could influence time spent in physical activity after acute hospitalization in persons living with dementia.
期刊介绍:
Alzheimer Disease & Associated Disorders is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal directed to an audience of clinicians and researchers, with primary emphasis on Alzheimer disease and associated disorders. The journal publishes original articles emphasizing research in humans including epidemiologic studies, clinical trials and experimental studies, studies of diagnosis and biomarkers, as well as research on the health of persons with dementia and their caregivers. The scientific portion of the journal is augmented by reviews of the current literature, concepts, conjectures, and hypotheses in dementia, brief reports, and letters to the editor.
