“…By contrast, controls continued their previous lifestyle likely having fewer opportunities for social interaction. This fact might have influenced the observed improvements of the social well-being component of HRQOL, as there is evidence in literature that social support is capable of influencing emotional IBDQ dimension scores in IBD [32]. Interestingly, both IG and CG improved total HRQOL, with no statistically significant between-group differences.…”

Background: Improving health-related quality of life is a primary target of therapy for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Physical activity has been demonstrated to improve health-related quality of life in several patient populations with chronic disease. There are very few studies investigating the effects of physical activity on health-related quality of life in inflammatory bowel disease. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of 10 weeks of moderate physical activity on health-related quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Methods: Thirty patients with mild to moderate IBD (Crohn‘s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) <220 or Rachmilewitz Index (RI) <11) were randomized 1:1 to either supervised moderate-intensity running thrice a week for 10 weeks or a control group who were not prescribed any exercise. Health-related quality of life, symptoms, and inflammation were assessed at baseline and after 10 weeks. Results: Participants were 41 ± 14 years (73% female), had a body mass index of 22.8 ± 4.1 kg/m², and an average CDAI or RI of 66.8 ± 42.4 and 3.6 ± 3.1. No adverse events occurred during the 10-week training period. Health-related quality of life, reported as IBDQ total score, improved 19% in the intervention group and 8% in the control group. Scores for the IBDQ social sub-scale were significantly improved in the intervention group compared with controls (ΔIBDQ_social = 6.27 ± 5.46 vs. 1.87 ± 4.76, p = 0.023). Conclusion: Patients suffering from moderately active IBD are capable of performing symptom-free regular endurance exercise. Our data support the assumption that PA is feasible in IBD patients. PA may furthermore improve quality of life through improvements in social well-being, and may, therefore, be a useful adjunct to IBD therapy.

-Context -Inflammatory bowel disease causes physical and psychosocial consequences that can affect the health related quality of life. Objectives -To analyze the relationship between clinical and sociodemographic factors and quality of life in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Methods -Ninety two patients with Crohn's disease and 58 with ulcerative colitis, filled in the inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ-32) and a questionnaire to collect sociodemographic and clinical data. The association between categorical variables and IBDQ-32 scores was determined using Student t test. Factors statistically significant in the univariate analysis were included in a multivariate regression model. Results -IBDQ-32 scores were significantly lower in female patients (P<0.001), patients with an individual perception of a lower co-workers support (P<0.001) and career fulfillment (P<0.001), patients requiring psychological support (P = 0.010) and pharmacological treatment for anxiety or depression (P = 0.002). A multivariate regression analysis identified as predictors of impaired HRQOL the female gender (P<0.001) and the perception of a lower co-workers support (P = 0.025) and career fulfillment (P = 0.001). Conclusion -The decrease in HRQQL was significantly related with female gender and personal perception of disease impact in success and social relations. These factors deserve a special attention, so timely measures can be implemented to improve the quality of life of patients. HEADINGS -Inflammatory bowel diseases. Crohn disease. Ulcerative colitis. Quality of life. Questionnaires.
