Background To study the relationship between objective daily physical activity (PA), as measured by implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs)/cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRTDs), and long-term prognoses in patients with age &gt; 75 years at high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Methods In total, 133 patients with age &gt; 75 years old (age 79.52 ± 3.68 years) in the SUMMIT study were retrospectively analysed. The major endpoint was all-cause mortality, and the minor endpoint was cardiac death. Results The mean follow-up time was 57.1 ± 24.2 months (range: from 4 to 96 months). In total, 46 all-cause mortality and 23 cardiac death events occurred. The receiver operating characteristic curve indicated a baseline PA cut-off value of 6.47% (93 min/day) can predict all-cause mortality in patients with age &gt; 75 years, with an area under the curve of 0.670 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.573–0.767,  P  = 0.001). The sensitivity was 67.4%, and the specificity was 66.7%. Patients with baseline PA ≤ 6.47% had higher rates of all-cause mortality (51.7% vs 20.5%,  P  &lt; 0.001) and cardiac death (25.0% vs 11.0%,  P  = 0.040). The estimated Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that patients with PA ≤ 6.47% had an increased cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality (Log-rank  P  &lt; 0.0001) and cardiac death (Log-rank  P  = 0.0067). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that PA ≤ 6.47% was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio (HR) 3.137, 95% CI: 1.667–5.904,  P  &lt; 0.001) and cardiac death (HR value 3.345, 95% CI: 1.394–8.028,  P  = 0.007). Conclusions Daily PA of about 1.5 h was associated with lower all-cause mortality and cardiac death risk in patients with age &gt; 75 years and high risk of SCD with ICDs/CRTDs. PA monitoring may aid in long-term management of older patients at high risk of SCD.
