Characterization of Post-Viral Infection Behaviors Among Patients With Long COVID: Prospective, Observational, Longitudinal Cohort Analyses of Fitbit Data and Patient-Reported Outcomes

This study showed that patients with long COVID could remain MVPA-active despite experiencing symptoms. These findings provide insights into the relationship between PROs, physical activity, and long COVID, which suggests the importance of considering individual activity profiles when tailoring treatment plans, especially in a low-income population. The findings of this study should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating, considering its exploratory nature and limitations, including high attrition rates and missing data.

Abstract

This study showed that patients with long COVID could remain MVPA-active despite experiencing symptoms. These findings provide insights into the relationship between PROs, physical activity, and long COVID, which suggests the importance of considering individual activity profiles when tailoring treatment plans, especially in a low-income population. The findings of this study should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating, considering its exploratory nature and limitations, including high attrition rates and missing data.
