          Abstract

          Background

          Several studies have demonstrated a positive association between physical activity (PA) and health-related quality of life (HRQL). However, studies have suggested that this association depends both on the PA intensity and the domain of HRQL evaluated. This study aimed to explore the association between physical, mental and overall HRQL with recommended levels of PA. PA levels were divided into moderate and vigorous intensity leisure-time PA and total leisure-time PA.

          Methods

          The study included 1001 adults, 582 women (46 ± 17 years) and 419 men (43 ± 16 years), residents in Rio Claro-SP, Brazil. All participants completed the SF-36 questionnaire to assess HRQL and the long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to assess level and intensities of leisure-time PA. Total leisure-time PA at moderate intensity was classified as: less than 9 min/week, 10-149 min/week, 150-299 min/week and 300 min/week or more. Total leisure-time PA at vigorous intensity was classified as: less than 9 min/week, 10 to 74.9 min/week, 75-149 min/week and 150 min/week or more. Multiple linear regression was performed in STATA version 12.0.

          Results

          Among women, moderate intensity and total leisure-time PA were associated with physical health. Among men, moderate and vigorous intensity and total leisure-time PA were associated with physical health and overall HRQL. Furthermore, moderate intensity and total leisure-time PA were associated with mental health in men. However, vigorous intensity PA was not associated with mental health for this group.

          Conclusion

          The different domains of HRQL were associated with different levels and intensities of PA in leisure-time according to gender of adults. These findings indicate the complexity and importance of evaluating the HRQL stratified by gender and consider the different levels and intensities of PA.

          Resumo

          Introdução

          Diversos estudos demonstram associação positiva entre prática de atividade física (AF) e qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QDV). Entretanto, estudos sugerem que essa influência dependa tanto da intensidade da AF, bem como do domínio da QDV avaliado.

          Objetivo

          Explorar à associação entre os domínios físico, mental e a QDV total com os níveis de AF recomendados, divididos nas intensidades moderada e vigorosa e AF total no lazer em adultos.

          Metodologia

          Participaram do presente estudo 1001 adultos, 582 mulheres (46 ± 17 anos) e 419 homens (43 ± 16 anos) residentes da cidade de Rio Claro-SP. Todos os participantes responderam o questionário SF-36 para avaliar a QDV e o International Physical Activity Questionnarie (IPAQ) - Long Version para avaliar o nível de AF no lazer. A AF total no lazer e de intensidade moderada foi classificada em menor que 9 min/semana, 10 a 149 min/semana, 150 a 299 min/semana e acima de 300 min/semana. A AF vigorosa foi classificada em menor que 9 min/semana, 10-74.9 min/semana, 75 a 149 min/semana e acima de 150 min/semana. Foi realizado a Análise de regressão linear múltipla no STATA versão 12.0.

          Resultados

          Entre as mulheres, apenas o domínio de saúde física associou-se com os níveis de AF moderada e total do lazer. Já para os homens, o domínio de saúde física e a QDV total foram associados com o nível de AF total no lazer, atividade moderada e vigorosa. Ainda entre os homens, no domínio de saúde mental foi associado com AF de intensidade moderada e AF total no lazer, porém não foi associado com a intensidade vigorosa.

          Conclusão

          Os diferentes domínios da QDV foram associados com os diferentes níveis e intensidades de AF realizadas no momento do lazer de acordo com o gênero em adultos. Esses achados indicam a complexidade e a importância de se avaliar a QVD estratificado por gênero e considerar diferentes níveis e intensidades de AF.

              Associations between recommended levels of physical activity and health-related quality of life. Findings from the 2001 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey.

              Although the benefits of regular physical activity on morbidity and mortality are established, relationships between recommended levels of physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) have not been described. The authors examined whether recommended levels of physical activity were associated with better HRQOL and perceived health status. Using data from 175,850 adults who participated in the 2001 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey, the authors examined the independent relationship between recommended levels of moderate or vigorous physical activity and four measures of HRQOL developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Multivariate logistic regression was used to obtain odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, sex, education, smoking status, and body mass index. The proportion of adults reporting 14 or more unhealthy days (physical or mental) was significantly lower among those who attained recommended levels of physical activity than physically inactive adults for all age, racial/ethnic, and sex groups. After multivariate adjustment, the relative odds of 14 or more unhealthy days (physical or mental) in those with the recommended level of activity compared to physically inactive adults was 0.67 (95% CI: 0.60, 0.74) for adults aged 18-44 years, 0.40 (95% CI: 0.36, 0.45) for adults aged 45-64 years, and 0.41 (95% CI: 0.36, 0.46) for adults aged 65 years or older. The results persist even among adults with a chronic condition such as arthritis. These results highlight the need for health programs to increase participation in regular physical activity.
