Abstract

ABSTRACT Appropriate physical activity (PA) enhances health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the elderly. However, few studies have focused on the physical activity required during grandparenting activities. We investigated the levels of PA and HRQOL in 48 Japanese grandmothers and determined the association between child-rearing assistance and PA and between PA and HRQOL. The study revealed that the grandmothers mainly provided non-daily care, and they showed an appropriate level of PA and good physical and mental HRQOL. These findings suggest that involvement in non-routine care has benefits for grandparents’ health.

育儿援助提高了日本祖母的体育活动和与健康有关的生活质量

适当的身体活动(PA)可提高老年人健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)。然而，很少有研究关注祖父母活动期间所需的体力活动。我们调查了48位日本祖母的PA和HRQOL水平，并确定了育儿援助与PA以及PA和HRQOL之间的关系。研究发现，祖母主要提供非日常护理，他们的PA水平适当，身心HRQOL良好。这些发现表明，参与非常规护理对祖父母的健康有益。
