Influence Of Different Exercise Habits On Musculoskeletal Pain In Climacteric Phase:A Cross-Sectional Survey

ObjectiveThere are two primary aims of this study:1.investigating 45-60 years old women’s exercise and musculoskeletal pain,to analyze if there are relationships between their age,menstrual status,body mass index,exercise and musculoskeletal condition;2.to analyze if there are relationships between their emotion,musculoskeletal pain and exercise habits,including different exercise type,frequency and last-time.MethodsThis study collected data by unified paper and online questionnaires.The organized questionnaire included basic information,past history,exercise habits,musculoskeletal condition,and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey(MOS SF-36).The questionnaire was sorted,coded and processed by excel.The analysis was conducted by package “Hmisc” of R x64 4.0.5.The count data that conformed to the normal distribution were described as the mean±standard deviation((?)±s),and the count data that were not normally distributed were described as the median and four.The quantile interval [M(Q1,Q3)] is described,and the numeral data is described by the number of cases and the composition ratio n(%).Pearson correlation was used for normally distributed measurement data,and Spearman correlation was used for measurement data that did not conform to Normal distribution.Two-sided test was used,and statistical significance was established when P<0.05.ResultsThe interviewed women were 45-60 years old,with an average age of(51.62±3.75)years and a median age of 52 years.The age,menstrual status,BMI,exercise of the interviewed women were not related to the NRS score of musculoskeletal pain(P>0.05);square dancing was positively correlated with the pain variation coefficient(r=0.148;P<0.05);The correlation coefficients of pain changes were positively correlated(r=0.025,0.206;P<0.05);there was no significant difference between different exercise methods such as square dancing,walking and Tai Chi and Role-Emotional(RE)scores of climacteric women(P > 0.05);There was no statistically significant difference between exercise frequency,duration and Role-Emotional scores of climacteric women(P>0.05);Mental Health(MF)was negatively correlated with pain changes(r=0.124;P < 0.05);Role-Emotional(RE),Mental Health(MF)was negatively correlated with NRS score(r=-0.290,-0.293;P<0.001).ConclusionSquare dancing(>3 months)improves musculoskeletal pain in climacteric women significantly;exercise frequency and duration are related to the improvement of musculoskeletal pain in climacteric women;Role-Emotion(RE),Mental Health(MF)are negatively correlated with NRS score,Mental Health(MF)was positively associated with pain improvement.
