Among people with HF who wore daily activity trackers, an increase of 2,000 steps per day was associated with improved physical limitation scores compared with those who did not change their step counts, data show.

Using a wrist-worn actigraphy device, researchers found that people with current depression and/or anxiety had reduced physical activity and more circadian rhythm disturbances than controls, researchers reported in Depression & Anxiety.
