We collected tri-axial accelerometry in young patients with IBD in clinical remission, and described their level of physical activity by the conventional ENMO measure. We found no statistically significant difference in patients with UC compared to patients with CD. The volume of physical activity was higher in males compared to females, and inversely associated with age.
