Lupus & antiphospholipid syndrome
Prevalence and correlates of restricted community mobility in a population-based cohort of adults with systemic lupus erythematosus
Authors' conclusion
Restricted community mobility was common among adults with SLE, and Black race, lower education and high disease activity were associated with more restricted community mobility.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with SLE in a population-based cohort (October 2019 to May 2022); 91.7% women; 82.6% Black; mean age 46.2
- Participants
- 447 adults
- Exposure
- Black vs White vs Lowest education vs Highest education vs Higher disease activity vs Lower disease activity
- Outcome
- Restricted community mobility (UAB LSA, 0-120; not reaching neighbourhood life-space or beyond at least weekly and without help)
Methodological detailspopulation-based cohort, multivariable logistic regression
- Population-based cohort
- Multivariable logistic regression
