Variation is also present between studies in the categorisation of metabolic equivalents for activities with moderate intensity, with the US Surgeon General reporting moderate intensity exercise as being equal to 3 5 times the basal metabolic rate [ 26], while other studies use a cut off for moderate activity being more than 4, [ 2, 21, 22] or even greater than 5 METs [ 8].

We controlled for age, gender, disease duration, β-interferon use and depression (coded as 'yes'/'no' variable, with 'yes' defined as score of 10 or more on PHQ-9, which corresponds to moderate depression cut-off).
