To review information regarding the association of physical activity (PA) with quality of life (QoL) in the elderly and to identify the study designs and measurement instruments most commonly used in its assessment, in the period 2000-2012.
Relevant articles were identified by a search of four electronic databases and cross-reference lists and by contact with the authors of the included manuscripts. Original studies on the association between PA and QoL in individuals aged 60 years or older were examined. The quality of studies as well as the direction and the consistency of the association between PA and QoL were evaluated.
A total of 10,019 articles were identified as potentially relevant, but only 42 (0.42%) met the inclusion criteria and were retrieved and examined. Most studies demonstrated a positive association between PA and QoL in the elderly. PA had a consistent association with the following QoL domains: functional capacity; general QoL; autonomy; past, present and future activities; death and dying; intimacy; mental health; vitality; and psychological.
PA was positively and consistently associated with some QoL domains among older individuals, supporting the notion that promoting PA in the elderly may have an impact beyond physical health. However, the associations between PA and other QoL domains were moderate to inconsistent and require further investigation.
回顾 2000 年至 2012 年间，关于身体活动（PA）与老年人生活质量（QoL）之间关联的信息，并确定评估中最常使用的研究设计和测量工具。
通过对四个电子数据库和参考文献列表的搜索以及与纳入文献的作者联系，确定了相关文章。对年龄在 60 岁及以上的个体中 PA 与 QoL 之间的关联进行了原始研究。评估了研究的质量以及 PA 与 QoL 之间关联的方向和一致性。
共确定了 10,019 篇可能相关的文章，但只有 42 篇（0.42%）符合纳入标准并被检索和检查。大多数研究表明，PA 与老年人的 QoL 之间存在正相关。PA 与以下 QoL 领域具有一致的关联：功能能力；总体 QoL；自主性；过去、现在和未来的活动；死亡和濒死；亲密关系；心理健康；活力；和心理。
PA 与老年人的一些 QoL 领域呈正相关且一致，这支持了在老年人中促进 PA 可能对身体健康以外产生影响的观点。然而，PA 与其他 QoL 领域之间的关联是中等至不一致的，需要进一步研究。
