The aim of the study was to determine household chores and leisure-time activities most affected by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to evaluate the perceived impact on performing these activities. Also, our aim was to estimate the required and received assistance for household chores. In an interview study via telephone, 124 patients with moderate-to-severe RA, visiting a tertiary-level dermatological clinic, listed spontaneously without predefined list the household chores and leisure-time activities that they considered were particularly affected by the RA. Ability to perform household chores and leisure-time activities were asked. The need for outside assistance with household chores and help received were also determined. Rheumatoid arthritis affected wide range of everyday household activities, with tasks related to cleaning of the house mentioned most often. Eleven of the categories out of 16 were similar to those included in the HAQ index. The majority of the patients (84.6 %) reported disadvantage in performing household chores because of RA. More than half of the patients (55.7 %) received assistance with household chores, women significantly more often than men (69.0 vs. 26.3 %, p < 0.01). Most of the household chores mentioned were physically demanding. Leisure-time activities listed by respondents as affected by RA were mostly related to sport. The majority of patients (77.2 %) had either reduced or completely given up at least one leisure-time activity. When estimating the total burden of the disease, the impact on both household chores and leisure-time activities should be taken into account.

“…Another study [ 26 ] reported that sporting activities were significantly ( P < .001) affected among patients with mild, moderate, and severe psoriasis. Additionally, in a study by Leino et al, [ 28 ] 23.7% of patients had reduced their sporting activities while 30.2% had stopped completely. In accordance with these results, our meta-analysis exposes the relationship between the degree of exercise and prevalence of psoriasis.…”

Psoriasis is a common chronic relapsing immune-mediated inflammatory disease, whose prevalence has increased in recent years. Some physicians believe that physical activity is associated with numerous health-related benefits in adults with dermatoses. While numerous studies have suggested an association between psoriasis and physical activity, others have yielded contradictory results. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between the level of physical activity and prevalence of psoriasis.A comprehensive search of the literature was performed from January 1970 to February 2017 using EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials electronic databases. Studies published in English were reviewed to identify the contribution of intensity of physical activity on the prevalence of psoriasis.The search strategy yielded 1100 relevant studies, among which 13 observational studies were included. We found that patients with psoriasis exercise significantly less vigorously than controls (relative risk [RR]: 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.67–0.85; P < .00001). Predominantly, these patients exercised at moderate intensity (RR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.18–0.90; P = .03). Some patients had lesser degree of movement, and some exercised strenuously. There were no significant differences observed in the intensity of exercise performed by controls (RR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.46–1.77; P = .76). The 3 studies found the frequency of regular exercise differed significantly between patients with psoriasis and controls (RR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.82–0.95; P = .0007).Different severities of psoriasis have different influences on patients’ physical activity levels. Patients with a higher proportion of psoriatic lesions and self-awareness were associated with lower-intensity exercises. Our meta-analysis highlights the fact that intense physical activity may lower the prevalence of psoriasis.

IntroductionPrevious studies have shown that psoriasis has a significant effect on patients’ health-related quality of life. The impact of psoriasis on household chores and the need for assistance with such tasks are not well documented. The aim of this study was to estimate the impact of psoriasis on the ability to carry out household chores, the time spent on skin care at home and the assistance that patients with psoriasis require with these activities.MethodsIn a questionnaire study 262 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis, visiting a tertiary level dermatological clinic during a 1-year study period, listed household chores which they considered were particularly affected by psoriasis. This was done without a predefined list of chores. Questions on their ability to perform household chores as well as time spent on skin care at home were asked. The need for outside assistance with household chores and help received were also determined.ResultsMore than half of the patients (57.8%) reported difficulties with household chores because of psoriasis. Psoriasis affected a wide range of everyday household activities, with physically demanding tasks and those involving contact with water mentioned most often. Most of the patients (84.6%) reported that they have increased the time spent on skin care because of psoriasis, on average by 87 min per week. A quarter of patients received assistance in household chores. Women received more assistance than men (p < 0.01). The need for additional assistance was reported by a fifth of patients, women more often than men (p < 0.05).ConclusionWhen estimating the overall burden of psoriasis, considering only the economic and productivity consequences may underestimate the impact of the disease. The impact on everyday life events such as the ability to perform household chores should also be taken into account.FundingThis study was supported by unconditional grants from the research funds of the Hospital District of Southwest Finland.
