Association between depressive symptoms and objectively measured
daily step count in individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease in South London, UK: a cross-sectional study
We aim to describe the distribution of objectively measured average
daily step count in a sample at high risk of CVD and to test the hypothesis that individuals with greater depressive symptoms are likely to have reduced daily step counts, controlling for potential confounding.
Additionally, our results suggest that there is a moderate association between depressive symptoms and
daily step count in individuals at high risk of CVD and that this should be considered as a potential modifying factor in clinical trials for lifestyle interventions in CVD research.
