This study examined the association between achieving the recommended physical activity level and quality of life after controlling for depression. Health information from adults aged 65 years and older, who had participated in the seventh 2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, was used. Five covariate adjustment models were used to derive robust estimates of the association between physical activity practice levels, depression, and older adults' quality of life. A total of 1,336 older adults was extracted from the seventh 2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and 31% of the older adults achieved the recommended physical activity level, whereas 69% did not. We found that the achievement of physical activity practice levels is significantly associated with the quality of life of the older adults (β = 0.024-0.031, all p < .05). Our results could be used for advocating for welfare policy changes that promote physical activity to prepare for the upcoming super-aging society.
本研究旨在控制抑郁后,调查达到推荐体力活动水平与生活质量之间的关系。使用了参加第七次 2018 年韩国国家健康和营养检查调查的 65 岁及以上成年人的健康信息。采用了五个协变量调整模型,以得出体力活动实践水平、抑郁与老年人生活质量之间关联的稳健估计。从第七次 2018 年韩国国家健康和营养检查调查中提取了 1336 名老年人,其中 31%的老年人达到了推荐的体力活动水平,而 69%的老年人没有达到。我们发现,体力活动实践水平的达到与老年人的生活质量显著相关(β=0.024-0.031,均 p<0.05)。我们的研究结果可用于倡导福利政策的改变,以促进体力活动,为即将到来的超老龄化社会做准备。
