The relationship between physical activity level , anxiety , depression , and functional ability in children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis . The aim of this study was to assess the relationships between physical activity level and anxiety , depression , and functional ability in children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis ( JIA ) . Cross-sectional study design including patients with JIA aged between 8 and 17 years and healthy controls was used . Sociodemographic data and clinical features were assessed . Physical activity level and energy expenditure were assessed with a 1-day activity diary . Anxiety was screened by The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders ( SCARED ) questionnaire . Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Children 's Depression Inventory ( CDI ) . Functional ability was assessed with the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire ( CHAQ ) . Pain and overall well-being were measured using a visual analog scale ( VAS ) . Fifty-two patients and 48 controls were included with a mean age of 12.13 ± 2.92 and 11.27 ± 1.59 years , respectively . The mean disease duration was 64 months . The JIA group had significantly less time in physical activity ( p = 0.000 ) , decrease in energy expenditure ( p = 0.04 ) , and higher CHAQ scores ( p = 0.000 ) compared with the control group . In the JIA group , significant relationships were found between the number of active joint and disease duration ( r = 0.44 , p = 0.000 ) and VAS pain ( r = 0.30 , p = 0.02 ) , between SCARED and CDI ( r = 0.54 , p = 0.000 ) . Significant relationships were found between VAS overall well-being and CDI ( r = 0.29 , p = 0.03 ) , CHAQ ( r = 0.37 , p = 0.000 ) , and VAS pain ( r = 0.41 , p = 0.000 ) . Correlation between CHAQ and CDI ( r = 0.34 , p = 0.01 ) was significant . The result of our study suggested that only depression was related to anxiety , functional ability , and well-being in children and adolescents with JIA .
