Low level of physical activity (<600 MET-min/week) was present in 45% of patients and was significantly associated with CVD risk profile (ηp2=0.118, p<0.002), functional disability, pain, personal barriers, age, and sedentary behaviour.

Why the study?

Physical activity has benefits for rheumatoid arthritis patients, but they remain more inactive than the general population, leaving factors associated with engagement and support preferences unclear.

What factors are associated with physical activity engagement among adults with rheumatoid arthritis?

Population

96 adults with rheumatoid arthritis

Design

Cross-sectional study

Authors

XTXiang Li Tan GPGemma Pugh FHFrances Humby

Discussion

Member takes

Overview

Correlates of PA in RA identified; leaves open whether targeting them boosts engagement in prospective studies.

Structured PICO

What factors are associated with physical activity engagement among adults with rheumatoid arthritis?

Population

96 adults with rheumatoid arthritis, 76 female, mean age 56.9 years (range 34-72), median RA disease duration 5 years (IQR 2-12)

Outcome

Factors associated with physical activity engagementpatient reported

Cardiovascular disease risk profile, disability, pain, and personal barriers are significantly associated with low physical activity levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
