The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of different physical exercise on disease progression in patients with chronic pancreatitis. The main question it aims to answer is:

Can physical exercise alleviate the disease progression of chronic pancreatitis?

Currently, the investigators have followed up with participants through a telephone questionnaire for six months to investigate whether the participants have engaged in physical exercise and to assess the disease progression of chronic pancreatitis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Clinical diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis
• Must be adhere to the guidelines of the American Gastroenterological Association

Exclusion Criteria:

• Autoimmune pancreatitis
• Pancreatic cancer diagnosed within 2 years after the onset of CP
• Use of drugs or toxins, or presence of viral infections

The 105 patients with CP were categorized into the sedentary group (CP-Sed, n = 54) and exercise group (CP-Ex, n = 51) based on self-reported exercise time per day during the six-month follow-up post the diagnosis of CP. Physical exercise time was recorded at four levels: 15 min/d, 30 min/d, 45 min/d, and 60 min/d or more.
