Self-report and device-based physical activity measures and adherence to physical activity recommendations: a cross-sectional survey among people with inflammatory joint disease in four European countries.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Self-monitoring of physical activity (PA) has the potential to contribute to successful behaviour change in PA interventions in different populations, including people with inflammatory joint diseases (IJDs). The objectives of this study were to describe the use and knowledge of self-report-based and device-based PA measures in people with IJDs in four European countries, and to explore if the use of such devices, sociodemographic or disease-related variables were associated with adherence to the recommendations of at least 150 min of moderate to vigorous PA per week.

Setting

Cross-sectional survey, performed in 2015-2016.

Participants

People with IJDs in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland and Sweden.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Use of self-report
