Background: Exercise and physical activity positively affect physical and mental health, and healthy workers contribute to increased work productivity. This study aimed to investigate time spent on exercise during leisure time and physical activity, including time at work, in relation to health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Japanese workers. Methods: An Internet-based national health survey —Collaborative Online Research on Novel-coronavirus and Work study (CoRoNaWork study)— was conducted among 33,087 Japanese workers in December 2020. After excluding invalid responses, 27,036 participants were categorized into four and five groups according to exercise time and physical activity time, respectively. Each group's scores were compared on each of the four questions on the Japanese version of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Health-Related Quality of Life (CDC HRQOL-4) between each group using a linear mixed model. Age-sex adjusted and multivariate models were used to compare each index of the CDC HRQOL-4.

Background: Self-reported moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) has been associated with better health-related quality of life (HRQoL), however research on quantitative MVPA in relation to HRQoL has been limited. In addition, the association of PA with physical and mental health components of HRQoL has not been examined. Hypothesis: Higher accelerometer-measured MVPA will be associated with better mental and physical HRQoL. Methods: Cross-sectional data from 12,179 adults ages 18-74 in 2008-11, who participated in HCHS/SOL and had complete data on key study variables. MVPA (minutes/week), measured by accelerometer, was grouped into 4 levels: inactive, low, moderate, and high. HRQoL was assessed using the Short-Form 12 (SF-12) questionnaire; the SF-12 mental and physical component summary (MCS; PCS) scores were computed (standardized to general US population norms with mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10; higher scores indicate better HRQoL). Multivariable linear regression models were used to derive adjusted means with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and to assess linear trends. All models were adjusted for covariates. The analyses were weighted for the study design and non-response. Results: PCS adjusted mean scores ranged from 46.8 (CI: 44.9, 48.6) among inactive persons to 51.3 (CI: 50.8, 51.8) among those with high levels of MVPA (p trend <0.001). No significant differences in MCS scores were observed across MVPA levels (p = 0.64). Conclusion: MVPA was positively associated with better self-perceived physical health-related quality of life. Our findings align with studies examining self-reported MVPA and HRQoL. Future prospective studies should evaluate whether increasing MVPA can lead to improvements in HRQoL among the US Hispanic/Latino population.

Abstract Introduction Narcolepsy can significantly impact the physical and mental wellbeing of people with narcolepsy, and has been associated with significant reductions in quality of life and physical performance. People with narcolepsy demonstrate many barriers to being physically fit and active, such as sleepiness and social isolation. Despite physical functioning and vitality being the most affected domains of health-related quality of life in this cohort, little is known about how physical performance variables are affected in people with narcolepsy. Methods This cross-sectional study profiled the physical performance of adults with narcolepsy attending the Narcolepsy Centre located in St. James’s Hospital. Participants underwent a physical performance test battery that investigated cardiopulmonary fitness, physical activity, muscle strength and endurance. Furthermore, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), symptom severity and sedentary behaviour was ascertained through self-report questionnaires. Results A total of 23 participants were recruited in this study. The majority of participants were female (n=13, 56.52%) and the mean age was 31.53 (± 13.17) years. Physical performance was generally found to be lower than age-and-gender matched normative values for cardiopulmonary fitness, physical activity and muscle strength and endurance. Participants’ completed 42.20 ± 21.41 minutes of moderate-vigorous physical activity daily as measured by actigraphy. Considerable sedentary behaviour was objectively measured in this sample (10.21 hours). Symptom severity was high as measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Narcolepsy Severity Scale, and participants reported reduced quality of life when compared to general population norms (US, UK, France and Norway). Conclusion Markedly reduced physical performance was identified in this sample of people with narcolepsy, irrespective of participant age, gender and BMI. Future research should explore the role of exercise in improving the physical fitness in people with narcolepsy, and the influence of exercise on HRQoL and symptom severity in this cohort. Support (if any) This study was completed as part of Mr Ragy Tadrous’ Master of Science (MSc) degree in Trinity College Dublin. This degree was co-sponsored by the Physiotherapy Department in St. James’s Hospital, Dublin.
