Feasibility Trial Data on TCM Intervention for Sedentary Office Workers in Hong Kong

Hong Kong office workers were studied in a feasibility randomized controlled trial assessing a Traditional Chinese Medicine-based intervention to reduce sedentary behavior. The dataset includes results from 38 participants, with measures of sitting time, stress, quality of life, and sleep quality collected via ActiGraph and surveys. The study was published by Cong Wang on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze intervention feasibility metrics based on recruitment, retention, and adherence rates exceeding 80%
• Compare changes in sitting time between intervention and control groups based on ActiGraph measurements
• Explore correlations between sedentary behavior reduction and changes in perceived stress scores
• Assess the acceptability of a multi-component TCM intervention based on participant satisfaction reports

Strengths

• Data originates from a structured feasibility randomized controlled trial with a registered protocol (ChiCTR2300079230)
• Includes specific quantitative results, such as a mean change in sitting time of -21.61 minutes and a Hedge's g effect size of -0.627
• Feasibility criteria were all met, with high rates for recruitment, retention, and assessment completion

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small (45.1 KB), indicating limited raw data or a summary document
