Regular Walking, Improves symptoms, QOL and reduces psychological stress on patients with Crohn's disease

Regular physical activity has long been found to associate to the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases but guidelines to support an older adult in engagement in regular physical activity (PA) to improve patients with Crohn's disease are lacking.

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affecting any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, as a result of adipocytokines and macrophage mediators in the perpetuated intestinal inflammatory process(4).


According to the University of Manitoba, regular walking may improve patients with Crohn's disease psychologically and physically without adversely affect disease activity(1).

In twelve subjects completed the 12-wk exercise program, all subjects showed statistically significant improvements after walking an average of 2.9 sessions/wk, at an average of 32.6 min/session, and for an average distance of 3.5 km/session(1).

Indeed, a low-intensity walking program from the University of Western Ontario also suggested that patients with Crohn's disease not only show improvement of quality of life without exacerbation in disease symptoms(2).

In a review also by the university of Western Ontario, although current pharmaceutical treatments are effective in controlling symptoms, patients continue to experience a reduced quality of life (QOL). CD patients engaged in physical activity. Exercise can benefit in decreased CD activity, reduced psychological stress and improved QOL(3).

In fact, regular walking enhance skeletal muscles in releasing biologically active myokines, exerting the direct anti-inflammatory effects and inhibiting the release of proinflammatory mediators from visceral fat of that showed to improve symptoms of Crohn's disease (CD)(4).
