Objective: To review information regarding the association of physical activity (PA) with quality of life (QoL) in the elderly and to identify the study designs and measurement instruments most commonly used in its assessment, in the period 2000-2012. Methods: Relevant articles were identified by a search of four electronic databases and crossreference lists and by contact with the authors of the included manuscripts. Original studies on the association between PA and QoL in individuals aged 60 years or older were examined. The quality of studies as well as the direction and the consistency of the association between PA and QoL were evaluated. Results: A total of 10,019 articles were identified as potentially relevant, but only 42 (0.42%) met the inclusion criteria and were retrieved and examined. Most studies demonstrated a positive association between PA and QoL in the elderly. PA had a consistent association with the following QoL domains: functional capacity; general QoL; autonomy; past, present and future activities; death and dying; intimacy; mental health; vitality; and psychological. Conclusion: PA was positively and consistently associated with some QoL domains among older individuals, supporting the notion that promoting PA in the elderly may have an impact beyond physical health. However, the associations between PA and other QoL domains were moderate to inconsistent and require further investigation.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life, through the "Medical Outcomes Study 36 -Item Short -Form Health Survey" (SF-36) questionnaire, of a group of elderly involved in physical activities scheduled and the impact of physical activity time. Methods: We assessed 143 elderly engaged in physical activity programmed by Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. As a data collection tool, we used the SF-36 and a sociodemographic questionnaire, applied at the time of the interview. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis, for analysis between domains, and Mann-Whitney test, to verify the relationship between health status and physical activity level. Results: The average age was 70.5 years. The mean score for the SF-36 of the elderly people who participated in the research was 73.3. The best result was in the Social Aspects domain (81.7), followed by Mental Health (78.9). Approximately 76% had at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week, being classified as a more active population. Most (70.6%) of the elderly had a good perception of their general health. There was statistical difference in the General Health domain among groups that performed physical activity for a period of less than one year and those who have been engaging in regular physical activity for over 10 years. Conclusions: The Social Function and Mental Health domains had the highest scores, with significant documentation of a better general health in the group that have practiced consecutive physical activity for over ten years. Keywords: quality of life; elderly; questionnaires. RESUMO Objetivos: Avaliar a qualidade de vida, através do questionário "Medical Outcomes Study 36 -Item Short -Form Health Survey" (SF-36) em um grupo de idosos envolvidos em atividades físicas programadas e o impacto do tempo de atividade física. Métodos: Avaliamos 143 idosos envolvidos em atividade física programada pela Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. Como ferramenta de coleta de dados, foram utilizados os questionários SF-36 e um sociodemográfico, aplicados no momento da entrevista. Foi realizado o teste Kruskal-Wallis para análise entre os domínios e Mann-Whitney para verificar a relação entre o estado de saúde e o nível de atividade física. Resultados: A média de idade da população foi de 70,5 anos. A pontuação média encontrada a partir da análise do SF-36 foi de 73,3. Os domínios Aspectos Sociais (81,7) e Saúde Mental (78,9) apresentaram os escores mais elevados. Cerca de 76% dos idosos incluídos no estudo praticavam pelo menos 150 minutos de atividade física por semana, sendo classificada como população mais ativa. A maioria (70,6%) dos idosos tinha uma boa percepção do seu estado geral de saúde; entretanto, observou-se diferença estatística quanto ao domínio Estado Geral de Saúde entre os grupos que praticavam atividade física por período menor que um ano e aqueles que praticam há mais de 10 anos. Conclusões: As melhores pontuações foram obtidas para os domínios Aspectos Sociais e Saúde Mental, sendo observado signific...

Habitual physical activity and health-related quality of life in older adults: interactions between the amount and intensity of activity (the Nakanojo Study)

Abstract: Associations between moderate-intensity physical activity and HRQOL in older adults merit further evaluation by prospective studies and/or randomized controlled trials.
