Physical activity in myotonic dystrophy type 1

ConclusionsIndividuals with DM1 are less physically active compared to healthy controls and only half of the patients fulfilled minimum requirements for recommended physical activity. Education is the only predictor of physical activity in DM1. Thus, enhancement of physical activity in individuals with DM1 might be suggested, and especially in the less educated individuals, but RCT studies are needed to guide exact recommendations.
