Lack of physical activity is a major risk factor in non-communicable diseases, increasing the all-cause mortality risk by 20–30%. It is also an important risk factor for dementia. While it can be difficult in any individual to ascertain the relevant contribution of lifestyle factors, interventions that target physical activity behaviours are important primary and secondary prevention strategies. We need public health approaches to increase the whole population’s physical activity. However, we argue that these interventions should particularly focus on higher risk groups, notably those with physical disabilities. People with disabilities are half as likely as non-disabled people to be physically active.1 Those living with neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis are generally even more sedentary, as are those with rarer neurological disorders such as neuromuscular diseases, motor neuron disease, Huntington’s disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, inherited ataxias and hereditary spastic paraplegia.

针对神经系统疾病中的久坐行为

缺乏身体活动是非传染性疾病的主要风险因素，使全因死亡风险增加 20-30%。它也是痴呆症的重要危险因素。虽然任何人都很难确定生活方式因素的相关贡献，但针对身体活动行为的干预措施是重要的一级和二级预防策略。我们需要公共卫生方法来增加整个人口的身体活动。然而，我们认为这些干预措施应特别关注高危人群，尤其是身体残疾的人群。残疾人进行体育锻炼的可能性是非残疾人的一半。1 患有中风、帕金森病和多发性硬化症等神经系统疾病的人通常更久坐不动，那些患有神经肌肉疾病、运动神经元疾病、亨廷顿病、进行性核上性麻痹、多系统萎缩、遗传性共济失调和遗传性痉挛性截瘫等罕见神经系统疾病的患者也是如此。这个 …
