Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are among the main causes of death in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Physical activity (PA) and fitness are potential protective factors against the progression of CV risk factors and atherosclerosis. ⋯ PA, ST, fitness, and most studied CV risk factors remained stable over time, with only marginal changes in LDL-c, PWV, and diastolic BP. Overall, PA and ST were not longitudinally associated with CV risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis and contradictory weak associations were found for physical fitness.
