Physical activity levels and self-perception among patients living with chronic conditions in France: A population-based cross-sectional study using the ComPaRe cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the numerous health benefits associated with physical activity (PA), many patients with chronic conditions remain inactive. We hypothesise that patients often misperceive their PA level, which affects behaviour change. We aimed to assess PA levels of patients with chronic conditions using the Global Physical activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and compare their perception of meeting WHO guidelines (150 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week) with GPAQ measurements.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the GPAQ in a sample of participants recruited from the ComPaRe e-cohort, a nationwide cohort of adult patients with chronic conditions in France. We used stratified random sampling (based on age, gender and diploma) and non-responder
