Background and study aims
There is a wealth of literature demonstrating the benefits of physical activity, including reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, depression and dementia. It has been shown that adults with lung disease have reduced physical activity levels and higher stationary time compared to those without lung disease. However, this data has come from high income countries.
Chronic lung disease in low and middle income countries is highly prevalent and often associated with fumes from cooking on open stoves, air pollution and infections such as tuberculosis (TB). Data on physical activity and stationary time on adults living with TB in Kyrgyzstan is scarce.
Due to the importance of physical activity, the objective of this trial is to measure the physical activity levels and stationary time of adults living with TB in Kyrgyzstan. The information gathered will help guide future physical activity interventions.

Who can participate?
People over 18 years old who suffer from tuberculosis

What does the study involve?
Participants will wear a small device (accelerometer) to measure their activity levels for seven days.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Benefits of participation are to contribute to informing new knowledge of the physical activity levels of patients with post-TB lung disease in Kyrgyzstan. There are no risks to participation.

Where is the study run from?
National Center of Cardiology and Internal Medicine, Kyrgyzstan

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
September 2019 to March 2021

Who is funding the study?
National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), UK

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTuberculosis
InterventionPatients will be identified from the City TB Hospital, NCCIM and family medical centres jointly by the TB doctors and the rehabilitation team. Eligible patients will be informed verbally about the study by their clinician and they will be provided with a typed Patient Information Sheet written in their own language, and invited to take part in the study. They will be provided with an opportunity to ask questions, and if willing to take part in the study, they will be asked to provide written informed consent.

Physical activity and stationary time will be assessed using a tri-axial accelerometer (Actigraph GT3x).
Participants will be asked to wear the monitor during waking hours for seven consecutive days.
Demographics will be recorded.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureVolume and patterns of physical activity and stationary time measured using an accelerometer over seven consecutive days.
Secondary outcome measures1. Seasonal effects on activity (measured by accelerometer) assessed by stratifying the year into months and seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)
2. Bouts of activity (measured by accelerometer)
Overall study start date01/04/2018
Completion date31/03/2021
Reason abandoned (if study stopped)This study was terminated before it began due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on timelines and resources
