Inflammatory bowel diseases patients suffer from significant low levels and barriers to physical activity: The “BE-FIT-IBD” study

Table 4 Disease activity and physical activity levels expressed as total International Physical Activity Questionnaire score

PA variable	n (%)	PA active (Met min/wk)	PA inactive (Met min/wk)	P value1
PRO-2 CD	n = 92	n = 53	n = 39
Remission	27 (29.3%)	1353 (1026.5-2064)	210.75 (101.25-313.75)	0.303
Mild	24 (26.1%)	1213.65 (1039.52-1534.75)	346.25 (229.62-566.37)
Moderate	41 (44.6%)	1240.75 (879.67-1950)	352.5 (45-468.75)
Overall	92 (100%)	1234 (981.75-1769.25)	280 (157.5-465)
PRO-2 UC	n = 127	n = 72	n = 55
Remission	74 (58.3%)	1345.35 (1057.5-1766.75)	321.25 (204.25-535.87)	0.994
Active	53 (41.7%)	1457 (952-1964.75)	350 (0-574)
Overall	127 (100%)	1373.35 (990-1792.62)	325 (111.5-538.5)

¹The P value was calculated by checking the difference in the distribution of different variables between the two identified groups (i.e., active and inactive patients).

PRO: Patient reported outcome; CD: Crohn’s disease; UC: Ulcerative Colitis; IPAQ: International Physical Activity Questionnaire; PA: Physical activity. Data are expressed for continuous variables as median (interquartile range) and, for categorical and ordinal variables, as numerosity (%).
