Physical (in)activity and screen-based media use of adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis over time - data from a German inception cohort
Main finding · PA levelResult — go to the resultOdds ratio 3.69 95% CI 1.01–13.50Authors' conclusion
Adolescents with JIA become more physically active over the disease course and achieve comparable levels of PA and recreational screen time to their peers. However, the vast majority appear to be insufficiently physically active.
