Abstract
Almost half a million people who participated in the UK Biobank study were included in the analysis. Accounting for differences in age and sex, each of the medical conditions considered were more common in at least one of the inflammatory rheumatic diseases considered. Each of the medical conditions considered were more common in participants with rheumatoid arthritis compared to the general population. Among participants with lupus, angina and heart attack were three times more common compared to the general population. Stroke was almost 5 times more common in participants with lupus compared to those without an inflammatory rheumatic disease. Angina, high blood pressure, and depression were more common among participants with each of the inflammatory rheumatic diseases considered compared to participants without an inflammatory rheumatic disease.People with an inflammatory rheumatic disease were less likely to have a high or moderate level of physical activity compared to the general population. 64% of participants with an inflammatory rheumatic disease met the World Health Organisation recommendations for physical activity, compared to 74% of participants without an inflammatory rheumatic disease. People with an inflammatory rheumatic disease plus another medical condition were less likely to have a moderate or high level of physical activity compared to those with an inflammatory rheumatic disease and no other medical conditions. Having a medical condition was also associated with reduced physical activity among participants without an inflammatory rheumatic disease.
