Effects of Specific Type of #Exercises on QOL in the Elder with MCI by Seung youn Hong in BJSTR

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)
