Physical (in)activity and its influence on disease-related features, physical capacity, and health-related quality of life in a cohort of chronic juvenile dermatomyositis patients

摘要

Objectives: To objectively measure physical activity levels in a cohort of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) patients; to compare physical capacity and health-related quality of life in JDM patients and their healthy controls (CTRL) matched by physical activity levels; and to associate physical activity variables with disease-related parameters, physical capacity, and health-related quality of life.
