Objective. To examine long-term changes in physical function and body composition in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients participating in ongoing community-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR).Design. Thirty-four individuals (69.7±8.2years; 79% men) participated in this longitudinal observational study. Baseline and follow-up assessments included incremental shuttle walk, short physical performance battery, handgrip strength, chair stands, body composition, last year physical activity, and CR attendance.Results. Participants attended38.5±30.3%sessions during1.6±0.2year followup. A significant increase in 30-second chair stands (17.0±4.7to19.6±6.4,P<0.001), body weight (75.8±11.1to77.2±12.1 kg,P=0.001), and body fat (27.0±9.5to29.1±9.6%,P<0.001) and a decline in handgrip strength (36.4±9.4to33.0±10.6kg·f,P<0.001) and muscle mass (40.8±5.6to39.3±5.8%,P<0.001) were observed during followup. There was no significant change in shuttle walk duration. CR attendance was not correlated to observed changes.Conclusions. Elderly CAD patients participating in a maintenance CR program improve lower-body muscle strength but experience a decline in handgrip strength and unfavourable changes in body composition, irrespective of CR attendance.
