Abstract EN
To examine long-term changes in physical function and body composition in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients participating in ongoing community-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR).
Design.
Thirty-four individuals (69.7±8.2 years; 79% men) participated in this longitudinal observational study.
Baseline and follow-up assessments included incremental shuttle walk, short physical performance battery, handgrip strength, chair stands, body composition, last year physical activity, and CR attendance.
Results.
Participants attended 38.5±30.3% sessions during 1.6±0.2 year followup.
A significant increase in 30-second chair stands (17.0±4.7 to 19.6±6.4, P<0.001), body weight (75.8±11.1 to 77.2±12.1 kg, P=0.001), and body fat (27.0±9.5 to 29.1±9.6%, P<0.001) and a decline in handgrip strength (36.4±9.4 to 33.0±10.6 kg·f, P<0.001) and muscle mass (40.8±5.6 to 39.3±5.8%, P<0.001) were observed during followup.
There was no significant change in shuttle walk duration.
CR attendance was not correlated to observed changes.
Conclusions.
Elderly CAD patients participating in a maintenance CR program improve lower-body muscle strength but experience a decline in handgrip strength and unfavourable changes in body composition, irrespective of CR attendance.
