ABSTRACT
The objective of the study was to examine the association between fatigue (measured by the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory; MFI-20) and physical activity (measured by the Saltin-Grimby Physical Activity Level Scale; SGPALS) in a large cohort of patients (≥18 years) with myasthenia gravis (MG) including relevant disease - and lifestyle-related factors. A total of 1463 persons, registered at the Danish National Registry of Patients with a MG diagnosis, according to the International Classification of Diseases, received a web-based survey. A total of 779 patients (53% women, mean [SD] age 60.8 [15.5]) responded. The remaining persons were either non-responders (n = 390) or could not confirm the MG diagnosis (n = 294). The most prominent MFI-20 fatigue domains were general fatigue (median [inter-quartile ranges, IQR], 13 [10-16]) and physical fatigue (median [IQR], 13 [9-15]), and 386 (53%) patients reported low levels of physical activity. All fatigue domains were associated with physical activity (p
