One of the most significant current discussions is the effect of different levels of physical activity on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), but there have been no studies in Iran which investigate this issue. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the level of physical activity and HRQOL in Iranian women.
This was an analytical cross-sectional study conducted from October 2010 to January 2011 in Karaj's gymnasiums. We selected gymnasiums using simple randomized sampling. The validated Persian short form 36-item HRQOL questionnaire version 2.0 (SF-36 v2) and the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were used for data collection. Based on IPAQ, participants were classified into two groups: one with a high level of physical activity (N=240) and another with a moderate level (N = 120).
The group with a high level of physical activity had significantly higher vitality scores (P=0.01) and lower role limitation-physical scores (P=0.02) than the group with a moderate level. The high level of physical activity was associated with considerably higher scores in general health (73.94 ± 0.99 vs.70.82 ± 1.33) (P=0.06) and mental well-being (73.94 ± 1.18 vs.70.88 ± 1.82) (P=0.1) domains than moderate level.
It seems that the high level of physical activity, compared with the moderate level, tends to have positive association with more domains of SF-36 v2.
当前最重大的讨论之一是不同水平的体育活动对健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)的影响,但伊朗尚未有研究调查此问题。本研究的目的是调查伊朗女性体育活动水平与健康相关生活质量之间的关系。
这是一项于2010年10月至2011年1月在卡拉季体育馆进行的分析性横断面研究。我们采用简单随机抽样选择体育馆。使用经过验证的波斯文36项简短健康调查量表2.0版(SF - 36 v2)和国际体育活动问卷简表进行数据收集。根据国际体育活动问卷,参与者被分为两组:一组体育活动水平高(N = 240),另一组体育活动水平中等(N = 120)。
体育活动水平高的组与体育活动水平中等的组相比,活力得分显著更高(P = 0.01),身体角色限制得分更低(P = 0.02)。体育活动水平高与一般健康(73.94 ± 0.99对70.82 ± 1.33)(P = 0.06)和心理健康(73.94 ± 1.18对70.88 ± 1.82)(P = 0.1)领域的得分相比,中等水平组显著更高。
与中等水平相比,体育活动水平高似乎与SF - 36 v2的更多领域呈正相关。
