To investigate the relationship between smoking status and exercise capacity, physical activity in daily life and health-related quality of life in physically independent, elderly (≥60 years) individuals.
Cross-sectional, observational study.
Community-dwelling, elderly individuals.
One hundred and fifty-four elderly individuals were categorised into four groups according to their smoking status: never smokers (n=57), passive smokers (n=30), ex-smokers (n=45) and current smokers (n=22).
Exercise capacity [6-minute walk test (6MWT)], physical activity in daily life (step counting) and health-related quality of life [36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire] were assessed.
Current and ex-smokers had lower mean exercise capacity compared with never smokers: 90 [standard deviation (SD) 10] % predicted, 91 (SD 12) % predicted and 100 (SD 13) % predicted distance on 6MWT, respectively [mean differences -9.8%, 95% confidence intervals (CI) -17.8 to -1.8 and -9.1%, 95% CI -15.4 to -2.7, respectively; P<0.05 for both]. The level of physical activity did not differ between the groups, but was found to correlate negatively with the level of nicotine dependence in current smokers (r=-0.47, P=0.03). The median score for the mental health dimension of SF-36 was worse in passive {72 [interquartile range (IQR) 56 to 96] points} and current [76 (IQR 55 to 80) points] smokers compared with ex-smokers [88 (IQR 70 to 100) points] (median differences -16 points, 95% CI -22.2 to -3.0 and -12 points, 95% CI -22.8 to -2.4, respectively; P<0.05 for both).
Among elderly individuals, current smokers had lower exercise capacity than never smokers. Although the level of physical activity did not differ between the groups, an association was found with smoking. Tobacco exposure was associated with worse scores for the mental health dimension of SF-36 in physically independent, elderly individuals.
调查身体状况独立的老年(≥60岁)个体的吸烟状况与运动能力、日常生活中的身体活动以及健康相关生活质量之间的关系。
横断面观察性研究。
社区居住的老年人。
154名老年人根据其吸烟状况分为四组:从不吸烟者(n = 57)、被动吸烟者(n = 30)、既往吸烟者(n = 45)和当前吸烟者(n = 22)。
评估运动能力[6分钟步行试验(6MWT)]、日常生活中的身体活动(计步)和健康相关生活质量[36项简短健康调查(SF - 36)问卷]。
与从不吸烟者相比,当前吸烟者和既往吸烟者的平均运动能力较低:6MWT上预测距离分别为90[标准差(SD)10]%、91(SD 12)%和100(SD 13)%[平均差异分别为-9.8%,95%置信区间(CI)-17.8至-1.8和-9.1%,95%CI -15.4至-2.7;两者P<0.05]。各组之间的身体活动水平没有差异,但发现当前吸烟者的身体活动水平与尼古丁依赖程度呈负相关(r = -0.47,P = 0.03)。与既往吸烟者[88(四分位间距(IQR)70至100)分]相比,被动吸烟者{72[IQR 56至96]分}和当前吸烟者[76(IQR 55至80)分]的SF - 36心理健康维度中位数得分更差(中位数差异分别为-16分,95%CI -22.2至-3.0和-12分,95%CI -22.8至-2.4;两者P<0.05)。
在老年人中,当前吸烟者的运动能力低于从不吸烟者。尽管各组之间的身体活动水平没有差异,但发现与吸烟有关。在身体状况独立的老年人中,烟草暴露与SF - 36心理健康维度得分较差有关。
