目的类风湿关节炎(RA)患者的特点是体力活动减少，心血管疾病(CVD)的发病率和死亡率增加。本研究旨在探讨类风湿性关节炎患者体力活动水平与心血管风险的关系。方法对65例类风湿关节炎患者(43名女性)进行体力活动水平评估。使用国际体力活动问卷，患者被分成三组：活动组、中度活动组和非活动组。结果三组患者的血压(P=0.006)、胆固醇(P<0.05)、总胆固醇(P<0.05)、总胆固醇(P
Objective Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are characterized by reduced physical activity and increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to investigate associations between levels of physical activity and CVD risk profile in RA patients.Methods Levels of physical activity were assessed in 65 RA patients (43 females). Using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, patients were allocated into three groups: active, moderately active and inactive. Anthropometric characteristics, RA activity/severity, multiple classical and novel CVD risk factors and 10-year CVD event probability were assessed and compared among the three groups.Results Significant differences were detected among groups in systolic blood pressure (P=0.006), cholesterol (P
