Ideal cardiovascular health in women with systemic lupus erythematosus: Association with arterial stiffness, inflammation, and fitness.

Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is closely related to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We aimed to examine the association of ideal cardiovascular health (ICH) with arterial stiffness, inflammation, and physical fitness in women with SLE.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 76 women with SLE (age 43.

Effects of 12-week aerobic exercise on patient-reported outcomes in women with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and whether changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) mediate the changes in PROs.

Methods: A total of 58 women with SLE were assigned to either an exercise group (EG;  = 26) or a control group (CG;  = 32) in this non-randomized clinical trial. The EG comprised 12 weeks of aerobic exercise (2 sessions/week) between 40%-75% of the individual's heart rate reserve.

Physical Fitness and Body Composition in Women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Higher physical fitness is associated with a more favorable weight and body composition in the general population, although this association has not been studied in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aim of the present study was to examine the association of different components of physical fitness with body composition in women with SLE with mild disease activity. This cross-sectional study included 77 women with SLE (43.

Association of physical fitness components and health-related quality of life in women with systemic lupus erythematosus with mild disease activity.

Objectives: To study the association of different components of physical fitness [flexibility, muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)] and a clustered fitness score with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to analyze whether participants with high fitness level have better HRQoL.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 70 women with SLE (aged 42.5; SD 13.

Effects of 12-week Aerobic Exercise on Arterial Stiffness, Inflammation, and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Women with Systemic LUPUS Erythematosus: Non-Randomized Controlled Trial.

This study assessed the effect of 12-week aerobic exercise on arterial stiffness (primary outcome), inflammation, oxidative stress, and cardiorespiratory fitness (secondary outcomes) in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In a non-randomized clinical trial, 58 women with SLE were assigned to either aerobic exercise ( = 26) or usual care ( = 32). The intervention comprised 12 weeks of aerobic exercise (2 sessions × 75 min/week) between 40⁻75% of the individual's heart rate reserve.

Association of objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time with arterial stiffness in women with systemic lupus erythematosus with mild disease activity.

Objectives: To examine the association of objectively measured physical activity (PA) intensity levels and sedentary time with arterial stiffness in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with mild disease activity and to analyze whether participants meeting the international PA guidelines have lower arterial stiffness than those not meeting the PA guidelines.

Methods: The study comprised 47 women with SLE (average age 41.2 [standard deviation 13.

Cardiorespiratory fitness and age-related arterial stiffness in women with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Background: The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to examine the association of cardiorespiratory fitness with arterial stiffness in women with systemic lupus erythematosus; (ii) to assess the potential interaction of cardiorespiratory fitness with age on arterial stiffness in this population.

Materials And Methods: A total of 49 women with systemic lupus erythematosus (mean age 41.3 [standard deviation 13.
