Project

Clinical field tests as predictors of cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic risk in Psoriatic Arthritis.

This project will study the use of clinical field tests, the six minute walk test (6MWT) and handgrip strength test (HGS), as predictors of maximal cardiorespiratory fitness in PsA. Moreover, we will evaluate the relationship between the fitness outcomes of clinical field tests and disease activity, cardiometabolic risk and quality of life in PsA-patients. Next, we will assess maximal cardiorespiratory fitness in PsA-patients and study its relation with the clinical field tests as well as with disease activity and cardiometabolic risk. Lastly, this project will evaluate the relationship between the fitness outcomes of clinical field tests and patient-reported outcomes.
