Associations between number and type of conditions and physical activity levels in adults with multimorbidity - a cross-sectional study from the Danish Lolland-Falster health study.

Aim: To provide detailed descriptions of the amount of daily physical activity (PA) performed by people with multimorbidity and investigate the association between the number of conditions, multimorbidity profiles, and PA.

Methods: All adults (≥18 years) from The Lolland-Falster Health Study, conducted from 2016 to 2020, who had PA measured with accelerometers and reported medical conditions were included (n=2,158). Sedentary behavior and daily PA at light, moderate, vigorous, and moderate to vigorous intensity and number of steps were measured with two accelerometers.

Early-stage vs established knee osteoarthritis: A comparative observational study on prevalence and changes in pain, function and quality of life after supervised exercise and education among 10,365 patients.

Objective: Compare prevalence and changes in outcomes among established and early-stage knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients undertaking supervised exercise and education.

Methods: Patients from Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D®) were stratified into three groups: established KOA (ACR/EULAR criteria), early-stage KOA (diagnostic-model-outcome ≥70%, Criteria for the Early Diagnosis of knee Osteoarthritis) or potential early-stage KOA (diagnostic-model-outcome 30-69%). Mixed-effects models and the proportion of patients by group achieving minimal clinically important improvements (MCIIs) were used to investigate changes in VAS pain intensity (0-100mm), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Quality of Life (QoL; 0-100), 40 m Walk test and 30 s chair-stand test at 3 and 12 months.

Digital health literacy in Norwegian patients with hip and knee arthroplasty: normative data from a cross-sectional study.

Background And Purpose:  As digital health services become increasingly important in osteoarthritis treatment, understanding patients' digital health literacy (eHL) is crucial, including those undergoing total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). We primarily aimed to provide eHL norms in a representative group of Norwegian patients, and secondarily to examine the relationships between eHL and health-related quality of life (QoL).

Methods:  We invited 800 randomly selected THA/TKA patients from the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register to complete a paper-based questionnaire, which included sociodemographic variables.

Assessing the level of device-measured physical activity according to insomnia symptoms in 1,354 individuals with diabetes: the HUNT Study, Norway.

Background: Insomnia symptoms that influence daytime functioning are common among adults with type 2 diabetes. However, no previous study has examined if levels of physical activity differ among adults with diabetes with and without insomnia symptoms. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the difference in total physical activity (TPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels in individuals with diabetes with and without insomnia symptoms.

At home e-based physical exercise programs in patients with multiple sclerosis: a scoping review.

Introduction: Physical exercise (PE) improves symptoms and quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). However, incorporating PE into daily lives of pwMS pose difficulties. As an alternative to in-person PE, e-based PE has been proposed because of its advantages in terms of accessibility and convenience.
