Objective:The aims of this study were to inquire the daily physical activity, anxiety and depression parameter differences between patients with cholelithiasis and healthy controls and to investigate associations among these parameters. Material and Methods: Volunteer patients with cholelithiasis (29 female) and healthy controls (30 female) were included in the study. International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) (short form), Beck depression inventory (BDI) and Beck anxiety inventory (BAI) were applied to all participants. Weekly vigorous and moderate physical activity and walking times as well as daily sitting times were determined with using IPAQ. Total physical activity times of participants were calculated and then classified as low, moderate and high. Results: Durations of walking and total physical activity were found lower in patients with cholelithiasis than the ones in healthy controls. In terms of percentage values of low, moderate and high physical activity levels, there were statistically significant differences between the patients with cholelithiasis and healthy controls (p<0,001). There were no statistically significant differences regarding BAI and BDI values between the patients with cholelithiasis and healthy controls. Conclusion: Total physical activity and walking durations and physical activity level was found lower in patients with cholelithiasis compared to the healthy controls, which may suggest a possible role for low physical activity in the formation of cholelithiasis. We propose that incorporating regular exercise programs into daily life may be used as a supportive treatment method for protection from cholelithiasis
