Sickle cell disease is one of the most common monogenic disorders globally. This dataset, created by M. A. Timmer, compares movement behavior in adults with SCD to healthy controls, addressing a hypothesized lack of physical activity information. It was last updated on November 4, 2025.
Use Cases
- Compare physical activity levels between sickle cell disease patients and healthy controls based on the study's comparative aim
- Investigate correlations between movement behavior and chronic hemolytic anemia mentioned in the description
- Analyze potential links between reduced activity and episodic pain or vaso-occlusion events described
- Model musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary complication risks based on movement patterns
Strengths
- Focuses on a specific and understudied population: adults with sickle cell disease
- Includes a comparator group of healthy controls as stated in the description
- Addresses a clear hypothesis about reduced physical activity in this patient group
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
Provenance
- Source
- M. A. Timmer via DataverseNL Harvested Dataverse
- Collection Method
- Likely collected via a clinical study evaluating movement behavior, as described.
