Background: Promoting physical activity among young individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease can lower systolic blood pressure (BP). We sought to determine whether a 6-month intervention using a physical activity tracker was feasible and effective, compared with usual care. Methods: Participants were recruited at a single academic medical center. Those aged 8–30 years were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either the intervention (use of a Fitbit physical activity tracker coupled with feedback regarding the participant's step count) or usual care. The primary feasibility outcomes were screening-to-enrollment ratio and 6-month retention rates; the primary clinical outcome was a change in systolic BP from 0–6 months. Results: Sixty-three participants were enrolled (57% male; mean age: 18 ± 4 years). The screening-to-enrollment ratio was 1.8:1. Six-month retention was 62% in the intervention group and 86% in the control group (p = 0.08). Mean change in systolic BP in the intervention group was not significantly different from the control group at 6 months (− 2.3 mmHg; 95% CI − 6.5, 1.8 vs. 3.0 mmHg; 95% CI − 2.5, 8.4, respectively, p = 0.12). Conclusions: Among children and young adults at elevated CVD risk, the use of a physical activity tracker coupled with tailored feedback regarding their step count progress was feasible but not sustained over time. Physical activity tracker use did not have a statistically significant effect on BP after 6 months. Augmented strategies to mitigate risk in young patients at high risk for early-onset CVD should be explored. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03325426). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
