The P value was calculated by checking the difference in the distribution of different variables between the two identified groups (i.e., Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis).
HEPA: Health enhancing physical activity; PA: Physical activity. Data are expressed for continuous variables as median (interquartile range) and, for categorical and ordinal variables, as numerosity (%).
