Summary:

Digital Health Interventions Can Significantly Reduce Sedentary Behavior among Patients with Chronic Illness.
Highlights:
  • This study reviewed 26 randomized controlled trials involving 3,800 participants. The trial reports were published from January 2000 to October 2023.
  • Meta-analysis revealed significant decreases in overall sitting time (MD -30.80; 95% CI -49.79 to-11.82; I2=65%; P=.001), pre-post sitting time changes (MD -50.28; 95% CI -92.99 to -7.57; I2=92%; P=.02), and SB proportions (MD -4.65%; 95% CI -7.02 to -2.28; I2=20%; P<.001) after digital health interventions, compared with nondigital interventions such as usual care, wait-list, or other active controls.
  • More research is needed with rigorous design to promote a long-term decrease in sitting time, differentiate primary and compensatory SB reductions, and explore the underlying mechanisms.erm physical activity levels.
