The study evaluates the physical activity and sedentary behaviors, as well as the relationship between physical activity an overall health in people living with HIV (PLWH).
Full description
PLWH now live longer due to the effectiveness and availability of anti-retroviral therapy (ART). However, serious physical and mental health issues are often reported in this population. Research suggests that physical activity (PA) can improve physical and mental health in PLWH. However, while studies on self-reported PA among PLWH abound, very few studies have reported on the objectively measured PA (i.e., the standard for PA assessment) and sedentary behaviors of PLWH and the relationship between PA and physical and mental health in this population. The purpose of this study are to evaluate the objectively measured PA and sedentary behaviors of PLWH in New York City, as well as the relationship between PA and overall health in this population. A better understanding of the PA and sedentary behaviors is critical to establishing PA programs that can lead to enhancement of overall health.
The study is cross-sectional in design and will last a total of one week. Participants who agree to participate will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires evaluating physical health, mental health, physical activity and nutrient intake, and will be asked to wear an accelerometer at the hip for seven consecutive days.
