Highlights
This paper reports findings from a study that assessed the independent and combined associations of sedentary behaviour and physical activity with health-related quality of life among chronic disease patients in Myanmar and Vietnam
Chronic disease patients may more likely engage in sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity and have a lower heath-related quality of life (HRQoL) than in the general population (Milton, Macniven, & Bauman, 2014; Peltzer & Pengpid, 2015; Pengpid & Peltzer, 2016, 2018)
It would be important to assess the impact of sedentary behaviour and physical activity on HRQoL in chronic disease patients
Summary
Chronic disease patients may more likely engage in sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity and have a lower heath-related quality of life (HRQoL) than in the general population (Milton, Macniven, & Bauman, 2014; Peltzer & Pengpid, 2015; Pengpid & Peltzer, 2016, 2018). It would be important to assess the impact of sedentary behaviour and physical activity on HRQoL in chronic disease patients. “Sedentary behavior refers to certain activities in a reclining, seated, or lying position requiring very low energy expenditure. It has been suggested to be distinct from physical inactivity and an independent predictor of metabolic risk even if an individual meets current physical activity guidelines.” (Panahi & Tremblay, 2018, p.258). Physical activity has benefits for physical health and HRQoL (Bize, Johnson & Plotnikoff, 2007)
