Movement Behaviors and Psychological Distress in 143 Older Adults with Chronic Diseases

A cross-sectional study of 143 community-dwelling older adults aged 60 years and above with chronic diseases. The dataset includes 24-hour movement behaviors measured by accelerometer and psychological distress scores from the Kessler K10 scale, analyzed using compositional isotemporal substitution methods. The data was published by Hanchen Tian on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing associations between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and psychological distress scores based on K10 measurements.
• Modeling the impact of reallocating time from sedentary behavior to light physical activity on mental health outcomes.
• Conducting compositional data analysis on 24-hour movement behavior patterns in a clinical population.

Strengths

• Includes objective accelerometer data for 24-hour movement behaviors from 143 participants.
• Uses a validated psychological assessment tool (Kessler K10 scale) with reported mean and standard deviation scores.
• Applies a specific statistical method (compositional isotemporal substitution analysis) detailed in the results.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 73.5 KB file size suggests a very limited dataset, likely containing summary results rather than raw participant-level data.
