| Core Tip |
The place regular physical activity (PA) should occupy in managing patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) is unclear. IBD patients were approached to receive an anonymous questionnaire to assess PA levels using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), assess disease activity as patient-reported outcomes 2, and assess habits, beliefs and barriers in conducting regular PA. A large proportion of included IBD patients were classified as inactive. Patients on biologics therapy showed better IPAQ scores in moderate activities. Inactive patients report some barriers. PA should be an element of discussion in IBD gastroenterology visits. |
