Objective:

To investigate the association between pre-hospital exercise habits and post-discharge prognosis in older adult patients with heart failure.

Key Findings:
  • 46.5% of patients reported no regular exercise habits before hospitalization.
  • Patients with exercise habits showed better physical function (greater grip strength, gait speed, and short physical performance battery scores).
  • Lower all-cause mortality was observed in patients with exercise habits (log-rank test, P = 0.019).
  • Pre-hospital exercise was associated with a lower mortality risk (hazard ratio, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.58–0.98; P = 0.035).
Interpretation:

Pre-hospital exercise habits are significantly associated with improved physical function and reduced mortality risk post-discharge in older heart failure patients.

Limitations:
  • Observational study design limits causal inferences.
  • Self-reported exercise habits may introduce bias.
Conclusion:

Regular exercise habits before hospitalization are linked to better post-discharge outcomes, emphasizing the need for risk stratification based on exercise patterns in elderly heart failure patients.
