Lower extremity mobility limitation and impaired muscle function in women with ulcerative colitis

Abstract: Women with UC had decreased lower limb strength and mobility limitations, which were associated with BMI and the level of physical activity. Early evaluation of nutritional status and performance of the lower limbs could identify UC patients with pre-clinical disability who may benefit from earlier health lifestyle modifications.

“…Nutritional status, in a previous study defined as lower BMI, was found as a factor of impaired muscle strength [78]. We could not confirm this, because no differences were found in BMI and fat-free mass between fatigued and non-fatigued patients.…”

“…16 groups of investigators [5,6,11,16,27,36,42,43,50,53,59,60,67,70,72,74] have evaluated habitual physical activity in patients from various age groups and with variously defined CIBD, using subjective and objective measures of physical activity that have included occupational categorization, completion of interviews or questionnaires, accelerometry and use of other objective sensors ( • ▶ Table 1). 12 of the 16 studies found levels of physical activity that were significantly lower in patients with CIBD than in controls, the difference generally being more marked for those classed as CD than for those with UC ( [27,43,53] but not [16]).…”
