Abstract

Background: Physical activity appears to be one of the most important strategies for preventing physical and mental disorders. Regular physical activity (PA) may prolong life and appears to be a preventative measure against genetic and molecular aging.

Aim: To find the relationship between aging adults' quality of life (QOL) and PA.

Settings and design: This cross-sectional analytical study included administrative staff members of Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry.

Materials and methods: QOL and PA were monitored and assessed using questionnaires (Global Physical Activity Questionnaire [GPAQ] and World Health Organization QOL Brief Version [WHOQOL-BREF]). Statistical analysis was performed with STATA version 14. For continuous variables, descriptive statistics were presented as means and standard deviations (SDs), while categorical variables were given as percentages. The analysis of multivariate linear regression was performed. P < 0.05 was used as the significance level.

Results: A total of 66 subjects were examined, and their mean age was 54.93 (SD 3.26) years. The findings indicated that there were no less-active participants, and that people over the age of 50 were more likely to engage in moderate or vigorous PA. The WHOQOL-BREF findings revealed that people had higher QOL. There was no significant link between WHOQOL-BREF dimensions and GPAQ when the effect of PA patterns on QOL was examined using multivariate linear regression analysis, which was adjusted for covariates such as body mass index and waist circumference.

Conclusion: The amount of physical activity among aging population may differ in different dimensions of QOL.

普度切里市吉普玛市老年员工主观体力活动(GPAQ)与生活质量(WHOQOL-BREF)关系的横断面分析研究
背景:体育活动似乎是预防身体和精神疾病最重要的策略之一。规律的体育活动(PA)可以延长寿命,似乎是一种预防遗传和分子衰老的措施。目的:探讨老年人生活质量(QOL)与PA的关系。环境和设计:本横断面分析研究包括普杜切里贾瓦哈拉尔研究生医学教育与研究所(JIPMER)的行政工作人员。材料和方法:采用问卷(全球身体活动问卷[GPAQ]和世界卫生组织生活质量简要版[WHOQOL-BREF])对生活质量和生活质量进行监测和评估。使用STATA version 14进行统计分析。对于连续变量,描述性统计以均值和标准差(sd)表示,而分类变量以百分比表示。进行多元线性回归分析。以P < 0.05为显著性水平。结果:共纳入66例患者,平均年龄54.93岁(SD 3.26)。研究结果表明,没有不活跃的参与者,50岁以上的人更有可能从事中度或剧烈的体育锻炼。WHOQOL-BREF调查结果显示,人们的生活质量更高。采用多变量线性回归分析,校正体重指数、腰围等协变量后,WHOQOL-BREF维度与GPAQ之间无显著相关性。结论:老年人身体活动量在生活质量的不同维度上存在差异。
