effects of change in fatigue and depression on physical activity over time in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis

Abstract

This prospective, observational study examined the effects of change in the symptoms of fatigue and depression on physical activity over time in persons with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Adults with a confirmed diagnosis of RRMS completed a battery of questionnaires at baseline (n = 269) and six-month follow-up (n = 263). The data were analyzed using linear panel analysis and covariance modeling in Mplus 3.0. The panel model fit the data (χ(2) = 24.00, df = 15, p = 0.07, SRMR = 0.04, CFI = 0.98) and demonstrated that changes in both fatigue (path coefficient = -0.09) and depressive symptoms (path coefficient = -0.12) were significantly associated with residual change in physical activity. Such findings support the importance of fatigue and depression for predicting longitudinal changes in physical activity in adults with RRMS.
