Who to Consider: Children with inflammatory bowel disease who are interested in learning more about how their activity and sleep habits affect their condition should consider enrolling.
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
Assessment of physical activity on children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease using questionnaires and wrist watch based activity monitors. The participants will be recruited from paediatric IBD clinics and will undergo questionnaires to assess their activity level, disease activity and quality of life scores. The participants will then be invited to wear a wrist based accelerometer for a week. The participants will complete a physical activity diary, food diary and stool chart at the same time. Results will be analysed to see the level of physical activity and assess if the participants are meeting the recommended level of physical activity
