Abstract
Background: The purpose of this research was to identify the
relationship between major exercises (aerobic, resistance, and walking)
participation and the perception of problems in each dimension of the
#health-related quality of life assessed by the EuroQOL (EQ-5D) in
community-dwelling older adults with mild #cognitiveimpairment (MCI)
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 755 elders
(mean age: 76.03+6.26, range: 65-93) with MCI (Mean MMSE 23.68+4.16)
who were recruited from local senior centers. #Demographicfactors,
exercise questionnaire, five EuroQOL subsets (#mobility, self-care, usual
activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) were investigated.
The independent association between each exercise and five QOL
subsets were determined using odds ratios (OR) adjusted for three
demographics (age, sex), using multivariate logistic analysis.
Results: Subjects with problems in mobility dimension
performed less exercise of resistance exercise and walking than those
with normal
mobility (resistance: OR, 0.633; 95% CI: 0.457-0.877; walking: OR,
0.538; 95% CI: 0.396-0.732). Subjects with problems in self-care
performed
less walking than those with normal self-care (Or, 0.551; 95% CI:
0.367-0.827). Subjects with difficulties in a usual activity performed
less
walking than those with normal self-care (OR, 0.715; 95% CI:
0.521-0.980). Subjects with problems in anxiety/depression performed
less
walking than those with normal anxiety/depression (OR, 0.641; 95% CI:
0.473-0.868)
