Daily physical activity and number of steps were significantly decreased in RA patients with moderate and high disease activity as measured by a wearable activity meter. Key Points • Total daily calories expended and exercise for both walking and housework and steps in patients with rheumatoid arthritis were 461.7 kcal, 3.97 METs h, and 4,788, respectively, using a wearable activity meter. • Daily physical activity, especially total daily exercise and number of steps, was significantly decreased in RA patients with moderate and high disease activity. • When total daily steps were < 3,333 and < 2,468, the odds ratios for locomotive syndrome and frailty increased 14.4-fold and 8.7-fold, respectively.
