Hypertension (HTN), which affects more than 65 million Americans, is associated with poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Regular physical activity (PA) has been shown to reduce blood pressure and is associated with higher levels of HRQOL.
Using self-reports from 60,321 hypertensive adults age 18 y or older who participated in the 2003 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, we examined the independent relationship between engaging in recommended levels of moderate or vigorous PA and four measures of HRQOL developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
For all age and racial/ethnic groups and both sexes, the proportion of hypertensive adults with 14 or more unhealthy days (physical or mental) in the past month was significantly lower among those who attained recommended levels of PA than among physically inactive adults.
Participation in regular PA is one of several lifestyle strategies available to control and prevent HTN. These results suggest that PA is associated with higher levels of HRQOL among adults with HTN and highlight the importance of health programs that promote participation in regular PA.
高血压(HTN)影响着超过6500万美国人,与健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)较差有关。规律的体育活动(PA)已被证明可降低血压,并与更高水平的HRQOL相关。
利用60321名18岁及以上参与2003年行为危险因素监测调查的高血压成年人的自我报告,我们研究了达到推荐水平的中度或剧烈PA与疾病控制和预防中心制定的四项HRQOL指标之间的独立关系。
对于所有年龄、种族/族裔群体以及男女而言,过去一个月有14天或更多不健康天数(身体或精神方面)的高血压成年人中,达到推荐PA水平的人群比例显著低于缺乏身体活动的成年人。
参与规律的PA是控制和预防HTN的几种生活方式策略之一。这些结果表明,PA与高血压成年人更高水平的HRQOL相关,并突出了促进参与规律PA的健康计划的重要性。
