      <dc:description>Objectives: This study aimed to test whether fibromyalgia-related characteristics differ&#xd;
by mode of commute and by age in women with fibromyalgia. Methods: A total of 450 women&#xd;
with fibromyalgia (aged 52.0 ± 8.0 years old) were included. Data on their body composition,&#xd;
socioeconomic factors, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), depressive symptoms, sleep quality,&#xd;
pain-related outcomes, fatigue, and mode of commute, as well as the impact of fibromyalgia on their&#xd;
lives, were obtained. We performed linear regression analyses to test the differences in fibromyalgiarelated&#xd;
characteristics between the participants engaged in active/passive modes of commuting. To&#xd;
analyze in depth the differences, a one-way analysis of covariance with Bonferroni’s correction for&#xd;
multiple comparisons was conducted. Results: In the younger group, active commuters presented&#xd;
differences in fibromyalgia-related characteristics (all, p &lt; 0.01): they were less impacted by having&#xd;
fibromyalgia, had lower levels of fatigue, and had a higher HRQoL than passive commuters. We&#xd;
observed no differences in symptoms between active and passive commuters in the older group (all,&#xd;
p > 0.05). Conclusions: The possible positive effect of active commuting on fibromyalgia-related&#xd;
characteristics might be reduced by age and by a decrease in total physical activity. Physical activity&#xd;
programs for women with fibromyalgia focused on improving fibromyalgia-related characteristics&#xd;
should consider active commuting behaviors to increase their effectiveness.</dc:description>
