Description
Summary:Evaluated women with fibromyalgia, a chronic musculoskeletal pain disorder, at baseline and at 3-year follow-up. Finds that 13% at baseline and 18% at follow-up reported doing no leisure physical activity and that depressed mood was lower at follow-up compared to baseline. Reports that engaging in more weekly leisure physical activity was associated with better functional ability at both assessments. Multiple regression analysis revealed that after controlling for baseline depression, higher depressed mood scores at follow-up was associated with younger age, lower household income, less improvement in daily functioning and less participation in weekly leisure physical activity.
