“…In addition, compared with those who did not exercise daily, patients who exercised for < 30 min daily or ≥ 30 min daily had higher EQ-5D-5L utility scores, indicating that moderate and regular exercise can both protect and improve knee function and improve EQ-5D-5L in patients with KOA [ 4 ]. Evidence also showed significant correlations between the level of physical activity and HRQoL [ 57 , 58 ]. Lastly, patients with BMI > 28 had lower EQ-VAS scores than those with BMI 18.5-24 Serrano-Aguilar et.al.…”

Purposes To investigate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in Guangzhou, China, and examine its association with selected sociodemographic characteristics as well as knee function. Methods This multicenter cross-sectional study included 519 patients with KOA in Guangzhou from April 1 to December 30, 2019. Data on sociodemographic characteristics were obtained using the General Information Questionnaire. The disability was measured using the KOOS-PS, resting pain using the Pain-VAS, and HRQoL using the EQ-5D-5L. The association of selected sociodemographic factors, KOOS-PS and Pain-VAS scores with HRQoL (EQ-5D-5L utility and EQ-VAS scores) were analyzed using linear regression analyses. Results The median (interquartile range [IQR]) of EQ-5D-5L utility and EQ-VAS scores were 0.744 (0.571–0.841) and 70 (60–80) respectively, lower than the average HRQoL in the general population. Only 3.661% of KOA patients reported no problems in all EQ-5D-5L dimensions, with Pain/Discomfort being the most frequently affected dimension (78.805%). The correlation analysis showed that the KOOS-PS score, Pain-VAS score and HRQoL were moderately or strongly correlated. Patients with cardiovascular disease, no daily exercise, and high KOOS-PS or Pain-VAS scores had lower EQ-5D-5L utility scores; and patients with body mass index (BMI) > 28 ,high KOOS-PS or Pain-VAS scores had lower EQ-VAS scores. Conclusions Patients with KOA had relatively low HRQoL. Various sociodemographic characteristics as well as knee function were associated with HRQoL in regression analyses. Providing social support and improving their knee function through methods such as total knee arthroplasty might be crucial to improve their HRQoL.

“…It is intuitive to believe that the higher the physical activity level, the better the satisfaction and life quality among diabetes patients. [ 27 ] To make matters worse, in diabetes, the link between physical activity and depressed mood seems to be shaped by the weight of patients, as more obese patients were less depressed despite minimum physical activity. [ 28 ] Our results confirm such findings.…”

A BSTRACT Background: Diabetes is associated with a range of psychosocial stressors that could lead to considerable distress and increased risk of depressive symptoms. There is a pressing need to understand the underpinnings of diabetes-related distress and how it evolves in connection with depressive moods, and fears related to hypoglycaemia. Our current study attempts to fill this knowledge gap and further explore the interconnections between distress, fear, and depression among Saudi diabetic patients. Methods: Descriptive questionnaire-based cross-sectional study of type II diabetes patients in a specialist diabetes clinic in Taif, Saudi Arabia. We carried out Poisson regression modelling to evaluate the correlates of depressive and distress symptoms. Results: The study included ( n = 365) patients living with type II diabetes. Cronbach’s alpha for the DDS-17 was 0.93, and for HABS was 0.84, indicative of excellent internal consistency. Diabetes-related distress affected ( n = 114, 22.8%) patients, whereas depressive symptoms affected ( n = 190, 52.1%) patients. The mean HABS score was 32.7 points (out of 70 points) (SD = 9.8 points). High physical activity levels were found only in ( n = 23, 6.3%) patients and moderate physical activity in ( n = 65, 17.8%), whereas patients with low physical activity were ( n = 277, 75.9%). Diabetes-related distress was associated with increased HbA1c, presence of eye disease, comorbid mental illness, heart disease, stroke, and low physical activity levels. Depressive symptoms were associated with increased HbA1c, longer diabetes duration, presence of eye disease, comorbid mental illness, comorbid neuropathy, heart disease, and low physical activity levels. Conclusions: Distress and depression levels are worryingly higher than previous estimates from Saudi Arabia among patients with type II diabetes, indicative of an upward trend and/or a pandemic-related jump. One significant finding from our results is the substantial effect of glycaemic control on increased distress, and depression among our type II diabetes patients. This interaction is likely due to effects on self-care and medication adherence. We also confirmed the association between depressive symptoms and the duration of diabetes. Our results indicated a connection between comorbid medical illness with depressive and distress symptoms.

“…The findings published here regarding HRQoL are analogous to those published in previous studies. They conclude that sports practice does not necessarily have an impact on all dimensions of HRQoL, with significant differences in physical function, vitality, and general health, as long as it is performed at high volumes or at vigorous intensities [ 8 , 13 , 15 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. Therefore, there could be a threshold below which PA would not provide any benefit to HRQoL, making a difference in terms of health between the effectiveness of practising one sport or another, which must be taken into account when prescribing PA for the older adult population [ 50 , 53 , 54 ].…”

Background: Older adults have the highest rates of a sedentary lifestyle. Alpine skiing could be considered a suitable activity to encourage continued sports practice and improve the health of this population in winter. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between the practice of alpine skiing and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), physical self-concept (PSC), and sport motivation. Methods: The study design was cross-sectional and descriptive, involving 280 Spanish adults aged over 55 years and physically active (75.35% skiers). To assess physical activity, PSC, HRQoL, and sport motivation, we used the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity Questionnaire (RAPA-Q), the Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP 30), the Health-Related Quality of Life (SF-36), and the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS) questionnaires, respectively. Results: In the skier’s group, higher values were found for PSC (p < 0.001; d = 0.64), the physical component of HRQoL (p < 0.001, d = 0.48), physical function (p < 0.001, d = 61), and intrinsic motivation (p < 0.001; d = 0.85). The practice of alpine skiing was associated with higher levels of the physical health component (ORadj = 2.13, 95% CI 1.18–3.95, p = 0.013), PSC (ORadj = 2.92, 95% CI 1.58–5.52, p < 0.001), and intrinsic motivation (ORadj = 2.24, 95% CI 1.22–4.23, p = 0.010). Conclusions: The practice of alpine skiing is positively associated with higher values of HRQoL, PSC, and intrinsic motivation, and based on the above, it seems that alpine skiing can contribute to healthy ageing and improve the quality of life of older adults.
