Abstract

Background and purpose: Few studies report on long-term levels of physical activity after THA compared with a control population. This case-control study aimed to find the long-term habitual level of leisure-time physical activity after THA and compare it with a large control group.
Patients and methods: A randomized sample of 856 patients, treated with primary THA, were identified from the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register. 429 (50%) responded to a questionnaire with a mean follow-up time of 9.6 years. We compared them with a control group of 29,272 (64%) from a population-based health study. Physical activity was measured with a questionnaire and categorized into groups according to the general recommendations for physical activity.
Results: 245 (63%) of the THA cases reported a level of leisure-time physical activity meeting the general recommendations, compared with 10,803 (39%) in the control group. The difference persisted at all ages (50–90 years). In sex, age, and BMI-adjusted regression models the chance of meeting the physical activity recommendations was higher in the THA group than in the control group (OR 2.9, 95% confidence interval 2.4–3.6).
Conclusion: The majority of the patients with THA reported a level of leisure-time physical activity meeting the general recommendations for physical activity. THA patients were more physically active in their leisure time than a control group representing a normal population.
