Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Because patients with Crohn's disease (CD) often show increased energy expenditure, nutritional deficiencies, and general fatigue, all which may persist after a flare, we hypothesized that CD could alter muscle mass and function. This study aimed to assess muscle strength and endurance in CD patients in clinical remission and the influencing factors. Methods: Forty-one outpatients (17 men and 24 women; age, 37 ± 10 yr), in remission (CD Activity Index <150) for >3 months, and 25 age-matched healthy controls (10 men and 15 women; age, 37 ± 13 yr) were evaluated. Evaluation included a sit-up test, hand-grip strength test, hand-grip endurance test, lower limb strength test, and lower limb endurance test (LE), as well as a measure of physical activity. Results: No significant difference was found between CD and control groups regarding weight, height, body mass index, fat mass, and fat-free mass. Strength performance was lower in CD subjects compared with controls, particularly for lower limb indexes: lower limb strength test (-24.6%, P<0.001), LE (-25.8%, P<0.001), and sit-up test (-25.1%, P<0.001). Previous disease severity, disease duration, the cumulative dose of glucocorticosteroids, current inflammation, and global habitual physical activity did not affect muscle performance. A recent use of steroids improved LE. Conclusions: CD patients in clinical remission have decreased muscle function that may affect their quality of life. This pattern is reflected by reduced strength and endurance indexes, particularly for lower limbs. The reasons for these changes need further study. Strength training should be assessed in these patients. Copyright © 2005 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
