“…Sato et al examined the relationship between anatomical structure and the quality of life related to body function and health [15]. Another study con rmed that different musculoskeletal components have a strong in uence on health status and quality of life [4]. In this analysis, we examine the association between physical tness and self-reported health status.…”

“…Finally, the data used in this analysis may be too preliminary in the self-health report survey. Cuesta-Vargas and Galán-Mercant used the Health Status Questionnaire (short-form SF-12, the short version of SF-36) to evaluate the health status [4]. They also administered health-related quality of life surveys.…”

“…The measures of physical tness include height, weight, body mass index (BMI), body function, medical history, body composition, and age. Numerous measures are also used to assess physical tness, including cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and body exibility [4].…”

“…Musculoskeletal health consists of three elements: muscular strength, muscular endurance, and exibility [4]. If these elements cannot be maintained, the tness of the musculoskeletal system may be damaged.…”

Background This study aims to determine if an association exists between health-related physical fitness measurements and self-reported health status in older Taiwanese adults. Methods A total of 22,389 Taiwanese adults aged 65 years or older were recruited as study participants. Demographic characteristics, life habits, anthropometric assessments, health-related physical fitness measurements, and self-reported health status from this dataset were analyzed using the chi-square test, one-way analysis of variance, and logistic regression analysis. Results The results showed that there was significant association between back scratch and self-perceived health status (excellent/good) (odds ratio [OR], 1.003; 95 % CI 1.000-1.006) after adjusting potential confounders. However, adjusted potential confounders OR for self-perceived health status (poor/very poor) decreased and significant for chair sit-and-reach test (OR 0.994, 95% CI 0.988–0.999). Conclusions The results of this study indicate that there are associations between health-related physical fitness measurements and self-reported health status in Taiwanese older adults. Future research may investigate the causality between health status and physical fitness.

Background Aging is an inevitable process of life development. These physical changes may cause a decline in the functional adaptability and health of older adults. This study aims to determine if an association exists between health-related physical fitness measurements and self-reported health status in older Taiwanese adults. Methods A total of 22,389 Taiwanese adults aged 65 years or older were recruited as study participants. Demographic characteristics, life habits, anthropometric assessments, health-related physical fitness measurements, and self-reported health status from this dataset were analyzed using the chi-square test, one-way analysis of variance, and logistic regression analysis. Results The results showed that there was significant association between back scratch and self-reported health status (excellent/good) (odds ratio [OR], 1.003; 95% CI 1.000–1.006) after adjusting potential confounders (gender, height, weight, body mass index, education, monthly income, marital status, smoking status, and chewing betel nuts). However, adjusted OR for unhealthy status (poor/very poor) significantly decreased for chair sit-and-reach test (OR 0.994, 95% CI 0.988–0.999). Conclusions The present study reveals significant associations between health-related physical fitness measurements and self-reported health status in older Taiwanese adults. In particular, the waist-to-hip ratio could be involved in the cognitive process of one’s subjective health status, since individuals’ perception of their physical appearance affects their self-reported health. Future researches are suggested to investigate the causality between health-related physical fitness and subjective health status.
