Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is linked to health status in a variety of conditions. Less is known about the relation between quality of life and modifiable health behaviors, especially among medically underserved populations.
The purpose of the current study was to examine HRQoL as it relates to physical activity, sedentary behavior, and eating patterns in youth residing in Southern Appalachia.
The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and questions on physical activity and eating behaviors was completed by 152 sixth grade students in a regional sample of schools participating in the Winning with Wellness child obesity prevention project.
The current study found higher physical activity levels and lower levels of screen time to be associated with reports of more positive HRQoL.
A more comprehensive understanding of factors surrounding health behavior may hold implications for obesity prevention/intervention programs.
健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）与各种情况下的健康状况有关。对于生活质量与可改变的健康行为之间的关系，特别是在医疗服务不足的人群中，了解较少。
本研究的目的是研究居住在南阿巴拉契亚地区的年轻人的生活质量与身体活动、久坐行为和饮食模式之间的关系。
在参与“Winning with Wellness”儿童肥胖预防项目的地区性学校样本中，152 名六年级学生完成了《儿科生活质量问卷》和有关身体活动和饮食行为的问题。
目前的研究发现，较高的身体活动水平和较低的屏幕时间与报告更积极的 HRQoL 相关。
更全面地了解健康行为周围的因素可能对肥胖预防/干预计划具有重要意义。
