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.

“…6 Penurunan massa otot pada lansia akan mempengaruhi kapasitas fisiknya yang secara tidak langsung akan mempengaruhi kualitas hidupnya. 7 Peningkatan angka usia harapan hidup tidak selalu disertai dengan peningkatan kualitas hidup pada lansia. Kualitas hidup merepresentasikan respons seseorang terhadap faktor fisik (objektif) dan mental (subjektif) yang berkontribusi ke dalam kehidupannya, termasuk di dalamnya kualitas kekuatan fisik, hubungan dengan orang-orang di sekitarnya baik keluarga maupun temannya, suasana lingkungan, status finansial, dan status emosional.…”

“…7 Hal tersebut diperkuat dengan hasil penelitian di atas yang mendapatkan bahwa subjek penelitian yang aktif secara fisik memiliki kualitas hidup domain fisik yang baik pula karena memiliki persepsi yang lebih baik bahwa dirinya dapat bergerak sesuai dengan keinginan. Hal tersebut membantu subjek penelitian untuk mudah bersosialisasi dengan orang-orang di sekitarnya sehingga subjek tidak mudah depresi, sebagaimana terbukti dalam penelitian yang dilakukan di Brazil.…”

Data dari hasil penelitian ini juga selaras dengan penelitian selanjutnya yang juga dilaksanakan di Brazil yang melibatkan 56 lansia wanita, membandingkan bagaimana kualitas hidup pada lansia dengan massa otot yang rendah dan massa otot yang normal, mendapatkan hasil bahwa lansia yang memiliki massa otot yang rendah akan memiliki kualitas hidup yang lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan yang memiliki massa otot yang normal.…”

“…Similarly, Williams [22] reported physical activity to have little effect on decreases in the risk of myocardial infarction. Apart from the positive impact on quality of life [23], physical activity can have on perceived health, it has also long been proven to have a positive impact on the physiology of the heart [24]. The fact of growing older also plays an important role in the development of myocardial infarction.…”

Background: Psychosocial factors attract interest in investigating the occurrence of cardiovascular disease. Design this study aimed to examine the impact of critical life events on the development of myocardial infarction in smokers and ex-smokers. We hypothesized that critical life events increase the risk of the disease. Methods: Data were taken from the Cologne Smoking Study (CoSmoS), a retrospective multicentre case-control study that examines which psychosocial factors may lead to a higher risk for smokers and ex-smokers of suffering from a myocardial infarction. Our sample consisted of n = 278 myocardial infarction participants and control participants. Both groups had a history of smoking. Logistic regression was used in the analysis. Results: The study results of the smoking and ex-smoking participants showed that sociodemographic data like gender and age have an effect on the development of myocardial infarction. Physical activity seems to offer protection aganist myocardial infarction. Final, the unexpected result that the experience of at least one critical life event seems to have a positive effect on health and so lowers the risk of myocardial infarction. Conclusions: Sociodemographic data and physical activity have an effect on the development of myocardial infarcttion. Participants with experience of critical life events appear to be strengthened after the events and possess adequate resources to protect their health.
