In sub\u2010Saharan Africa, where access to disease\u2010modifying therapies remains limited, identifying modifiable behavioral determinants such as physical activity (PA) is of particular clinical relevance. This study examined the associations between objectively measured daily step count and clinical, biological, hemorheological, vascular, and autonomic parameters in adults with SCA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ninety\u2010eight adults with SCA were stratified into tertiles according to accelerometer\u2010derived daily step count. Pain burden, renal indices (albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]), hematological and hemorheological parameters, arterial stiffness (carotid\u2013femoral pulse wave velocity), and heart rate variability were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Higher daily step counts were associated with less frequent intense pain, reduced blood viscosity, and a higher hematocrit\u2010to\u2010viscosity ratio. More active participants also exhibited lower arterial stiffness and greater parasympathetic modulation. A graded, linear pattern was observed across tertiles for most outcomes. Although eGFR was positively associated with physical activity, this relationship was largely explained by age differences between groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Greater daily physical activity is associated with a more favorable clinical and physiological profile in adults with SCA.
