Twenty-four hour physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep profiles in adults living with rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional latent class analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), an autoimmune systemic inflammatory disease, affects more than 17 million people globally. People with RA have higher risk of premature mortality; often experience chronic fatigue, pain and disrupted sleep; and are less physically active and more sedentary than healthy counterparts. It remains unclear how people with RA may balance sleep and awake movement activities over 24-hours, or how differences in 24-hour behaviours may be associated with determinants of health, or alignment with published activity guidelines.

Methods

Cross-sectional exploration of objective measures of 24-hour sleep-wake activities in 203 people with RA. Latent Class Analysis (LCA) derived classes from time, by tertile, in six sleep-awake activities over 24 h. Com
