Physical Activity Level Of Elderly People In Urban And Urban Communities On Fitness And Quality Of Life

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between physical activity level and physical fitness and quality of life in the elderly.Research methods: this study is a cross-sectional study,using literature data method,questionnaire survey method(including basic information,PASE the elderly physical activity scale,SF-36)quality of life scale,field measurement method(projects including height,weight,waist circumference,hip circumference,blood pressure,heart rate,vital capacity,two minutes in situ high leg lifts,grip strength in succession,crook proneness,thirty seconds to sit stand,close your eyes to stand on one foot,choice reaction time),mathematical statistics and logic analysis on physical activity levels,health,fitness,and to study the relationship between the quality of life.Results :(1)the average PASE score of the elderly in urban communities was65.90±31.53,which was dominated by the moderate level of physical activity.The living conditions,living environment and subjective life satisfaction of the elderly could significantly influence their physical activity(P < 0.05),which could explain 26.4% of the changes in physical activity.(2)The average score of the quality of life(SF-36)of the elderly in urban communities was 623.73±141.39,accounting for 67.4% of the total score of the SF-36 scale,indicating that the overall quality of life of the elderly in urban communities was above the average level.Age,living conditions and living environment can significantly affect the quality of life(P < 0.05),which can explain 19.8% of the change in quality of life.(3)Physical activity level was significantly positively correlated with quality of life(r=0.271,P < 0.01),and significantly correlated with PF,RP,SF,VT and MH(P < 0.05).(4)There was a significant positive correlation between the physical activity level and the fitness of the selected healthy body,including the circumference,vital capacity,grip strength,sitting forward bending,30-second sitting,standing with eyes closed and on one foot,and the response to selection(P < 0.05).(5)There was a significant positive correlation between grip strength and 30-second sitting and quality of life in the elderly in urban communities(P < 0.05),which played a mediating role in the relationship between physical activity level and quality of life.Conclusions :(1)in terms of physical activity,the elderly in urban communities mainly have moderate physical activity level.Among them,the living conditions,subjective life satisfaction,and whether there are sports facilities near the residence(within 15 minutes of walking or cycling)all have an impact on the physical activity behavior of the elderly in urban communities.(2)In terms of quality of life,the quality of life of the elderly in urban communities is in the upper middle level,among which,age,living conditions and whether there are sports facilities near the place of residence(within15 minutes of walking or cycling)all have an impact on the quality of life of the elderly in urban communities.(3)In the health fitness projects,the body shape of the elderly in urban communities is mainly normal body shape and overweight body shape.In terms of physical function and quality,there were significant differences in scores of multiple test items(height,weight,vital capacity,two-minute standing high leg,grip strength,sitting body forward bending,30-second sitting and standing,selective response time)between different genders and different ages.(4)There was a significant positive correlation between the physical activity level of the elderly in urban communities and the quality of life in various dimensions(PF,RP,SF,VT,MH,TPH,TMH),which showed that the higher the level of physical activity,the better the quality of life.(5)The higher the level of physical activity of the elderly in urban communities,the better their physical fitness(girth,vital capacity,grip strength,forward bending in sitting position,standing for 30 seconds,standing with eyes closed and on one leg,and choosing reaction time).(6)The healthy physical fitness of the elderly in urban communities(grip strength,30-second standing)played a mediating effect on the relationship between physical activity level and life quality,while healthy physical fitness(grip strength,30-second standing)indirectly affected the quality of life.
