Abstract

The objective of this study was to carry out a comparative analysis between handgrip strength and mobility in the quality of life (QOL) of older adults living in long-term care facilities. Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, comprised of a sample population of 127 older adults. Measurements included the World Health Organization Quality of Life-OLD (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire, assessment of the handgrip strength by hand dynamometer and mobility by Timed Up and Go (TUG). An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to compare the mean values of the WHOQOL-BREF, global and domains, in each stratum of the handgrip strength and mobility values. Our results showed that handgrip dynamometer strength was associated with higher perception of the global WHOQOL-BREF score and two WHOQOL-BREF domains environment (p<0.028) and physical health (p<0.002), that is, the highest QOL values were seen in those older adults with greater handgrip strength. However, no significant association between TUG score and any quality of life domains was found. It can be inferred that handgrip strength seems to influence the quality of life of institutionalized older adults and healthcare providers in LTCs should account for when designing interventions.
握力与活动能力对机构老年人生活质量影响的比较分析
本研究的目的是对长期照护机构中老年人的握力和活动能力在生活质量(QOL)方面进行比较分析。方法:这是在巴西贝洛奥里藏特进行的一项横断面研究,由127名老年人组成。测量方法包括世界卫生组织生命质量(WHOQOL-BREF)问卷,手测力仪评估握力,以及TUG (Timed Up and Go)评估活动能力。采用方差分析(ANOVA)比较WHOQOL-BREF在全球和域的平均值,在每个阶层的握力和流动性值。结果表明,握力计强度与整体WHOQOL-BREF评分和两个WHOQOL-BREF域环境的感知(p<0.028)和身体健康(p<0.002)相关,即握力较大的老年人的生活质量值最高。然而,TUG评分与任何生活质量领域之间没有显着关联。可以推断,握力似乎会影响制度化老年人的生活质量,LTCs的医疗保健提供者在设计干预措施时应考虑到这一点。
