Sedentary time is associated with depressive symptoms and state anxiety in women with fibromyalgia. Could physical activity and fitness modify this association? The al-andalus project

Blanca Gavilan-Carrera et al.

Summary: This study found that higher levels of total and prolonged sedentary time are associated with greater depressive symptoms and state anxiety in women with fibromyalgia. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity did not modify these associations, although physical fitness could play a protective role specially for state anxiety.

Adverse Health-Related Quality of Life Outcome Despite Adequate Clinical Response to Treatment in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Alvaro Gomez et al.

Summary: The study revealed that despite achieving adequate clinical response with standard therapy plus belimumab or placebo, a substantial proportion of SLE patients still experienced adverse health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes, with factors such as age, ethnicity, and organ damage contributing to these outcomes. Additional belimumab treatment was associated with lower frequencies of adverse physical functioning and fatigue, suggesting a potential protective effect in improving HRQoL in SLE patients.
