The relationship between pain and sedentary behavior in rheumatoid arthritis: A cross‐sectional study

Arthritis Care & Research Apr 16, 2020

O’Leary H, et al. - A cross‐sectional study was performed to explore a range of pain characteristics and RA‐related symptoms and their association with objectively measured SB. Researchers included a total of 76 adults with RA wore an ActivPAL4™ accelerometer over a 7‐day period. They assessed pain characteristics (pain intensity, painful joint count, non‐articular pain), fatigue, sleep, depression, anxiety and disease activity. This research was first performed to analyze associations with sedentary time. The multivariable linear regression (adjusted for demographics and disease activity) was carried out to examine the independent contribution of pain characteristics to variation in SB. A total of 72 Individuals with valid accelerometer data spent an average (± SD) of 533.7 (±100.1) min/day in SB. The outcomes of this study imply that while pain and other RA‐related factors do play a role in SB, they do not seem to have a significant affect after accounting for other variables. Further study is needed to evaluate SB and the role of factors unrelated to the symptoms of RA.
