Cardiopulmonary Exercise Active Health Cohort Study (CEAHCS)

November 7, 2026 updated by: Peking University Third Hospital

This is a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study. Study participants will first be enrolled into the general population main cohort, and some eligible subjects will be invited to participate in a validation study for the consistency of estimated VO₂max. The overall study consists of the establishment of the main cohort and three major research modules: cardiovascular endpoint risk prediction, early warning of exercise-related cardiovascular event risk, and health reminder and behavioral feedback. In addition, a substudy is designed to enroll 300 patients with stable metabolic cardiovascular disease, aiming to verify the consistency between wearable-device-estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max) and the gold standard of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET), so as to evaluate the applicability and error structure of the device-estimated parameters in clinical populations.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

To establish a prospective cardiopulmonary exercise and active health cohort based on wearable devices, systematically integrate continuous dynamic physiological and behavioral data as well as standardized clinical outcome information, and evaluate the application value of wearable-device-derived metrics in dynamic cardiovascular risk assessment and exercise-related risk identification. Specific objectives are as follows:

  1. To verify the agreement between wearable-device-estimated VO₂max and CPET measurements.
  2. To assess the association between continuously monitored wearable metrics and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE), and develop a long-term risk prediction model.
  3. To evaluate the relationship between short-term physiological change features during exercise or physical activity and exercise-related cardiovascular events, and explore methods for dynamic identification of exercise risk.
  4. To assess the association between health prompts delivered via wearable feedback and individual behavioral and risk changes, and explore the feasibility of active health management.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Recruited from volunteers in the general population or health check-up attendees.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Voluntarily participate in the study and sign the informed consent form; agree to continuously wear the wearable device during follow-up; able to complete scheduled follow-up visits
  • Enrolled in the main cohort; having stable metabolic cardiovascular diseases (such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), or dyslipidemia); voluntarily sign the supplementary informed consent for the CPET substudy

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Severe mental disorder or cognitive impairment, unable to understand the study content; individuals who cannot or are unsuitable to wear the device
  • Presence of contraindications to CPET (e.g., uncontrolled acute coronary syndrome, acute heart failure, severe arrhythmia, etc.); functional impairment that substantially limits exercise capacity; pregnancy or lactation

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
general healthy population

This group consists of generally healthy individuals without chronic diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Participants with metabolic cardiovascular risk

The exposure factors of this group are hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). All of these chronic diseases have been diagnosed in the participants.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)
Time Frame: From the date of baseline enrollment until the date of first MACE or censoring, assessed up to 12 months.

Cardiovascular endpoint events: defined as major events meeting the criteria for MACE (including cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke), extended to other clinically significant adverse cardiovascular events such as heart failure hospitalization, unstable angina visit, and revascularization.All events will be adjudicated by at least two cardiologists based on device recordings, medical documentation and self-reported symptoms. Any disagreements will be resolved by a third-party adjudicator.
From the date of baseline enrollment until the date of first MACE or censoring, assessed up to 12 months.
Exercise-Related Cardiovascular Events
Time Frame: From the date of baseline enrollment until the date of first exercise-related cardiovascular event or censoring, assessed up to 12 months.

Definition of Exercise-Related Cardiovascular Events: Cardiovascular symptoms or events closely induced by exercise that occur during exercise or in the post-exercise recovery period, including but not limited to: (1) Myocardial infarction or angina attack; (2) Tachyarrhythmias: ventricular tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia occurring during exercise or recovery; (3) Bradyarrhythmias: newly developed sinus arrest, atrioventricular block, left/right bundle branch block; (4) Abnormal exercise blood pressure: systolic blood pressure ≥210 mmHg (male) or ≥190 mmHg (female) during exercise, abrupt blood pressure drop >10 mmHg with evidence of ischemia during exercise; (5) Syncope, sudden cardiac death, cardiac arrest; (6) Other cardiovascular events resulting in exercise termination. Wearable devices will be used to identify exercise episodes and analyze dynamic physiological characteristics during exercise and recov
