Quality of Life Is Associated With Wearable-Based Physical Activity in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Prospective, Observational Study.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:Patient-reported outcomes such as quality of life are gaining importance in the assessment of patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The association of objectively measured physical activity and quality of life in patients with IBD has not been studied in depth. To investigate the association of disease-specific quality of life and physical activity as well as clinical and biochemical disease activity in patients with IBD. METHODS:A total of 91 patients with IBD were stratified into 4 groups (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, in remission and with moderate-severe activity, respectively) and evaluated in terms of disease-specific quality of life (Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire [IBDQ]), physical activity (accelerometry), body composition (bioelec
