Evaluation of daily energy expenditure and health-related physical fitness parameters in patients with cholelithiasis

Abstract

Our results suggest that daily physical activity and muscle strength were impaired in female cholelithiasis patients when compared with the healthy controls. We suggest that using daily exercises, including not only aerobic but also strength training as lifestyle modifications in cholelithiasis patients, might be helpful for the development of more beneficial illness management strategies.

A cross-sectional study of cardiorespiratory fitness and gallbladder disease

“…Our cross-sectional study confirmed this finding. However, Celikagi et al [14] recently reported that objectively measured maximal aerobic capacity from the Astrand submaximal exercise protocol was not significantly different between 30 female patients with cholelithiasis (VO2max in ml/kg/min: 21.2±6.3) and 30 healthy controls women (VO2max in ml/kg/min: 22.3±4.4) ( P =.55).…”

“…However, the study used self-reported 10 km race performance as the indicator of CRF. Another small sample study reported that aerobic capacity (measured by Åstrand submaximal exercise) was not significantly different between women with cholelithiasis and women who were healthy [14]. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the prevalence of gallbladder disease across levels of CRF, objectively measured by maximal treadmill exercise test, based on the database of the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (ACLS).…”

Risk of subsequent gastrointestinal disease assessed by skeletal muscle strength and mass in a prospective cohort study

“… 21 In addition, decreased grip strength and SMM, as the key components of frailty or sarcopenia, were reported to be more prevalent and associated with worse prognosis in individuals with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, pancreatitis, and gallbladder and biliary disease. 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 …”
