“…They can also have effects on mental health; for example, uncomfortable and crowded public transport or traffic noise can make people irritable and unhappy. Previous studies have shown that participating in regular physical activity contributes to significant improvements in adults’ quality of life and that higher levels of physical activity can act as a buffer for stress ( Crews & Landers, 1987 ; Xiao et al, 2019 ). Therefore, it is possible that regular physical activity buffers the stress and negative effects of a long commute ( Stults-Kolehmainen & Sinha, 2014 ).…”

Previous studies have mainly focused on the independent impact of commuting time, exercise, and stress on people. There are few studies regarding the impact of the combined effect of multiple factors on special populations such as obese people. As obesity has become increasingly widespread in China, we studied the impact of commuting time on work stress on Chinese obese men (who exercise regularly vs. who exercise irregularly). We performed a secondary retrospective analysis of the cross-sectional data from the 2014 China Labor Force Dynamics Survey. We found that long commute times and less exercise have a positive effect on the increase in stress, but the effect is less evident for people who exercise regularly. Commuters traveling on foot are more stressed than those traveling by car. This study also found that commuting time had a significant impact on the perceived work stress of obese men who exercised irregularly. But the relationship between commuting time and work stress was different among groups with different commuting styles. For obese men who commuted on foot or motorcycle, commuting time had a significant impact on their job stress. However, for obese men who commuted by bicycle, bus, or car, commuting time had no significant effect on job stress. Additionally, active and passive commuting have different effects on stress. Active commuters tend to be more stressed, while passive commuters do not show a significant impact.

“… Xu et al (2016) found that physical exercise is an effective treatment for depression. Participating in regular physical activity contributes to significant improvements in adults’ quality of life ( Xiao et al, 2019 ). Moderate exercise every week can help prevent depression ( Wang et al, 2018 ).…”

“…However, it has been reported that a number of patients have complained of the “clicking” sound of the mechanical mitral valve opening and closing affected their QoL. 9 ) Although a number of studies have focused on the effect of artificial valve sound on QoL, few studies have investigated the effect of artificial heart valve sounds on patients’ QoL at different time points. 4 – 7 )…”

Objective: To compare the effects of the sounds of different types of mechanical mitral valves on the quality of life (QoL) of patients at different follow-up times. Methods: We collected data from 150 patients who underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement. Three time points were assessed, including at discharge, the third postoperative month (POM3), and the twelfth postoperative month (POM12). The SF-36 and a self-questionnaire were used to assess the QoL. Results: Regarding the SF-36 scores, the ATS valve was superior to the Sorin and SJM valves in terms of some items. Moreover, the scores at discharge of all three mechanical valve groups were lower than those at POM3 and POM12. For the self-questionnaire scores, with the increase in postoperative time, the number of patients affected by the mechanical valve sounds decreased gradually. Considering the relevant influencing factors, older women were more likely to be affected by the valve sounds than were younger individuals and men. Conclusion: The overall postoperative QoL improved for patients who underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement. In the comparative study, the impact of the ATS valve was better than those of the Sorin and SJM valves, but this difference gradually disappeared over time.

“…Mechanical valves generate a clicking sound that is often audible to patients and even patients’ relatives [7, 8]. However, cardiac surgeons may underestimate the impact of this continuous valve noise on patients’ QOL, unlike life-threatening complications, including anticoagulation and thromboembolic events.…”

Objective To investigate the effect of valve noise on the quality of life (QOL) in Chinese patients who underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement. Methods We enrolled a total of 103 patients who underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement (MVR, CM valve in 52 patients, SJM valve in 51 patients) from January 2016 to December 2016 in our institution and used the SF-36 as an instrument to assess patients’ QOL. Results Patients’ QOL improved over time. Patients who experienced disturbances due to valve noise had lower SF-36 scores in each scale, especially in general health, vitality, and mental health. Only 8.74% ( n = 9) of patients complained of valve noise 1 year after the operation compared to 19.42% ( n = 20) in the first month after the operation. The number of patients who experienced disturbances due to valve noise decreased over time, with a P value of 0.58. Logistic regression analysis showed that female patients those aged < 60 years old had a higher risk of experiencing disturbances due to valve noise. The valve type (CM vs SJM), body mass index (BMI) and valve size showed no significant differences in patients who experienced disturbances due to continuous valve noise. The SF-36 results were similar in the CM group and SJM group 1 year after the operation. Conclusions QOL evaluated by the SF-36 improved over time in Chinese patients who underwent mechanical MVR. Age less than 60 years and female sex were high risk factors for experiencing disturbances due to valve noise. CM and SJM mechanical valves demonstrated similar valve noise levels and impact on QOL in patients who experienced mechanical MVR.
