Patients on hemodialysis with multiple comorbidities have limited physical activity, resulting in poor health, low activity participation, and low quality of life. Accordingly, the nursing care provided to such patients should include regular physical activity training programs. Therefore, this cross-sectional descriptive study investigated whether patients on hemodialysis with and without comorbidities have different levels of physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL); the correlations among the comorbidities, physical activity, and HRQoL of the two cohorts were also assessed. The 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey version 2 and International Physical Activity Questionnaire were employed to collect data from 120 patients on hemodialysis. An independent samples t-test and univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted. The overall HRQoL of patients with comorbidities was lower than that of patients without comorbidities (p = 0.008). Compared with patients who participated in low-intensity physical activity, the overall HRQoL of patients who participated in moderate-intensity physical activity was higher (p < 0.001). The overall HRQoL of patients with comorbidities who participated in low-intensity physical activity was lower than that of those who participated in moderate-intensity physical activity (p < 0.001). Moderate-intensity physical activity was correlated with higher HRQoL for patients with comorbidities. This finding supports the implementation of effective physical activity intervention measures. Furthermore, it supports the promotion of patient self-management and the implementation of regular exercise programs and lifestyle changes, and patients on hemodialysis can benefit from the future management of physical activities.

Fatigue is common in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Activity pacing is a behavioral way to cope with fatigue and limited energy resources. However, little is known about how people with MS naturally pace activities to manage their fatigue and optimize daily activities. This study explored how activity pacing relates to fatigue and physical activity in people with MS. Participants were 80 individuals (60 females, 20 males) with a diagnosis of MS. The participants filled in questionnaires on their activity pacing, fatigue, physical activity, and health-related quality of life, 3–6 weeks before discharge from rehabilitation. The relationships between the variables were examined using hierarchical regression. After controlling for demographics, health-related quality of life, and perceived risk of overactivity, no associations were found between activity pacing and fatigue (β = 0.20; t = 1.43, p = 0.16) or between activity pacing and physical activity (β = −0.24; t = −1.61, p = 0.12). The lack of significant associations between activity pacing and fatigue or physical activity suggests that without interventions, there appears to be no clear strategy amongst people with MS to manage fatigue and improve physical activity. People with MS may benefit from interventions to manage fatigue and optimize engagement in physical activity.

Abstract We determined if meeting the 2018 physical activity guidelines was associated with better ambulatory function, health-related quality of life, and inflammation than failing to meet the guidelines in patients with peripheral artery disease and claudication. Secondly, we determined the optimal number of total daily steps that are needed to meet the physical activity guidelines. Five hundred seventy-two patients were assessed on their daily ambulatory activity for one week with a step activity monitor, and were grouped according to whether they achieved less than 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week (Group 1=Do Not Meet Guidelines; n=397), or whether they were above this threshold (Group 2=Meet Guidelines; n=175). Treadmill peak walking time (mean±SD) was significantly higher (p&lt;0.001) in Group 2 (709±359 sec) than in Group 1 (427±281 sec). The health-related quality of life score for physical function was significantly higher (p&lt;0.001) in Group 2 (61±22%) than in Group 1 (44±21%). High sensitivity C-reactive protein was significantly lower (p&lt;0.001) in Group 2 (3.6±4.5 mg/L) than in Group 1 (5.9±6.1 mg/L). Finally, 7,675 daily steps was the optimal threshold associated with meeting the physical activity guidelines, with a sensitivity of 82.9% and a specificity of 88.4%. In conclusion, patients with claudication who meet the 2018 physical activity guidelines for US adults had better ambulation, HRQoL, and inflammation outcomes than those who failed to meet the guidelines. From a practical standpoint, patients with claudication best achieved the physical activity guidelines by taking a total of 7,675 daily steps.

A qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde-HRQL possui um caráter multidimensional com integração da saúde física, do bem-estar psicológico e da satisfação social. O objetivo foi avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (HRQL) de participantes de meia-idade e de idosos de um projeto de atividade física regular. O tipo de estudo foi descritivo, com corte transversal, sendo que a amostra foi composta por 40 adultos com idade entre 50 e 80 anos, integrantes do CELARI da ESEF/UFRGS. O instrumento utilizado foi o SF-36 e a análise empregada utilizou a estatística descritiva e o teste de correlação de Pearson. A pontuação dos domínios por ordem decrescente foi: AS, AF, AE, EGS, CF, SM, VIT, DOR. Houve correlação positiva significativa entre a maioria dos domínios do SF-36. As correlações não significativas ocorreram entre EGS x AS, SM x AF. A idade apenas correlacionou-se com o domínio EGS. A HRQL da amostra mostrou-se com valores superiores, ao ser comparada com a de outros estudos. Os valores atingiram no mínimo 70% de pontuação, na média dos domínios. Os resultados indicaram um nível satisfatório de HRQL e relação entre os domínios do SF-36. palavras-chave Envelhecimento. Qualidade de Vida. Atividade Física.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life – HRQOL in ageing people who practice regular physical activity. This study was a descriptive cross-sectional and  the sample included 40 adults, aged between 50 and 80 years, attending a University Extension Program. The instrument used was the Brazilian version of Short Form-36. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to summarize HRQL data and Pearson’s correlation for comparison between domains. The score of the domains in descending order were: AS, AF, AE, EGS, CF, SM, VIT, DOR. There was a significant positive correlation between the majority of SF-36. The correlations were not significant between EGS x AS, SM x AF. The age was correlated only with the EGS field. The HRQL of the sample proved to be higher, when compared with other studies. The values ​​reached a minimum score of 70% in average scores. The results indicated a satisfactory level of HRQOL and a significant relationship between different aspects of health-related quality of life. keywords Aging. Quality of Life. Physical Activity.
