The purpose of this study was to compare fatigue, depression and quality of life scores in persons with multiple sclerosis who do (Exercisers) and do not (Non-exercisers) regularly participate in physical activity.
A cross-sectional questionnaire study of 121 patients with MS (age 25-65 yr) living in Queensland, Australia was conducted. Physical activity level, depression, fatigue and quality of life were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Health Status Questionnaire Short Form 36, Becks Depression Inventory and Modified Fatigue Impact Scale.
52 participants performed at least two 30-min exercise sessions x wk-1 (Exercisers) and 69 did not participate in regular physical activity (Non-exercisers). Exercisers reported favourable fatigue, depression and quality of life scores when compared to Non-exercisers. Significant weak correlations were found between both leisure-time and overall reported physical activity levels and some subscales of the quality of life and fatigue questionnaires. Additionally, some quality of life subscale scores indicated that regular physical activity had a greater benefit in subjects with moderate MS.
Favourable fatigue, depression and quality of life scores were reported by persons with MS who regularly participated in physical activity, when compared to persons with MS who were classified as Non-exercisers.
本研究的目的是比较定期参加体育活动的多发性硬化症患者（运动者）和不参加体育活动的患者（非运动者）的疲劳、抑郁和生活质量得分。
对居住在澳大利亚昆士兰州的121名年龄在25至65岁之间的多发性硬化症患者进行了一项横断面问卷调查研究。使用国际体力活动问卷、健康状况问卷简表36、贝克抑郁量表和改良疲劳影响量表对体力活动水平、抑郁、疲劳和生活质量进行评估。
52名参与者每周至少进行两次30分钟的锻炼（运动者），69名参与者不参加定期体育活动（非运动者）。与非运动者相比，运动者报告的疲劳、抑郁和生活质量得分较好。在休闲时间和总体报告的体力活动水平与生活质量和疲劳问卷的一些子量表之间发现了显著的弱相关性。此外，一些生活质量子量表得分表明，定期体育活动对中度多发性硬化症患者有更大的益处。
与被归类为非运动者的多发性硬化症患者相比，定期参加体育活动的多发性硬化症患者报告的疲劳、抑郁和生活质量得分较好。
