Key clinical point: Around 25% patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) had a sedentary lifestyle (< 90 min of physical activity per week), with lack of physical activity associated with pain, worsened clinical activity, functionality, and disease impact.
Major finding: Overall, 25.9% of patients had a sedentary lifestyle. Patients with a sedentary vs non-sedentary lifestyle had more enthesitis, fatigue, higher disease activity, greater disease impact, and lower functionality (all P < .05). Sedentary lifestyle was also associated with increased risk for pain (odds ratio 1.5; P < .001).
Study details: This cross-sectional study included 232 patients with PsA aged 18-69 years with no radiographic damage or respiratory or cardiac diseases that limit physical activity.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any financial support. The authors declared no conflicts of interest. During the review, the reviewer declared a shared affiliation, with no collaboration, of the lead author to the handling editor.
