The aim of the study was to obtain a response to the question of whether and how physical activity (PA) among people aged 60-89 years impacts quality of life and other sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age and place of living).
Among 341 respondents aged 60 to 89, including 273 women (80%) and 68 men (20%) successfully completed IPAQ and WHOQOL AGE questionnaires. In the study were used International Physical Activity Questionnaire - IPAQ and World Health Organization Quality Of Life - Age - WHOQOL-AGE in Polish version.
The average total physical activity, including vigorous-intensity physical effort, moderate-intensity physical effort and walking amounts to 1381.87 ± 1978.60 MET-min/week. The average quality of life for the whole group of older people as evaluated with WHOQOL AGE scale was 64.79 (SD = 14.76; min:18.77-max: 98.07). Statistical analysis between physical activity and life quality proved significant dependence for the global life quality rating (p < 0.001).
Our research has shown that PA improves quality of life among older people. Higher scores of quality of life were obtained in the F1 subscale (satisfaction) than in the F2 subscale (meeting expectations) in both age groups. Age significantly affects quality of life for older people.
本研究旨在回答以下问题:60-89 岁人群的体力活动(PA)是否以及如何影响生活质量和其他社会人口学特征(性别、年龄和居住地点)。
在 341 名 60 至 89 岁的受访者中,包括 273 名女性(80%)和 68 名男性(20%)成功完成了 IPAQ 和 WHOQOL-AGE 问卷。本研究使用了国际体力活动问卷 - IPAQ 和世界卫生组织生活质量 - 年龄 - WHOQOL-AGE 的波兰语版本。
平均总体力活动,包括剧烈强度体力活动、中等强度体力活动和步行,达到 1381.87±1978.60MET-min/周。整个老年人组的平均生活质量,根据 WHOQOL-AGE 量表评估,为 64.79(SD=14.76;最小值:18.77-最大值:98.07)。体力活动与生活质量之间的统计分析证明了两者之间存在显著的依赖关系(p<0.001)。
我们的研究表明,PA 可以提高老年人的生活质量。在两个年龄组中,F1 子量表(满意度)的生活质量评分均高于 F2 子量表(满足期望)。年龄对老年人的生活质量有显著影响。
