Normally, regular exercise has a positive effect on body image, but in AS, from this small study it seems that the recommended exercise program does not influence body image, which in these patients seems more closely related to mood. This warrants further evaluation, as a better understanding of influences on body image might improve compliance with therapeutic regimens.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
