<p><span style="font-family: Garamond;">The aim of this research was to develop an explanatory model of body mass index (BMI), health-related quality of life, and physical activity, and to analyse the effects of the physical variables on the levels of physical activity, self-esteem and health-related quality of life. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 631 Spanish schoolchildren (12.5 ± 1.4 years old).<strong> </strong>They completed questionnaires on self-esteem (Rosemberg test), physical activity (PAQ-C), Mediterranean diet (KIDMED), quality of life (KIDSCREEN-27) and had their BMI and maximum oxygen uptake measured. Structural equations constituted the statistical analyses. A correlation was found between lower BMI and fewer hours of self-reported screen time which was also conducive to higher cardio-respiratory levels and greater engagement in physical activity. More physical activity and better dietary care were related generally with higher health-related quality of life and self-esteem. The model demonstrated acceptable goodness of fit.  Findings of the study suggest physical activity and positive dietary behaviours should be promoted in Spanish schools as incremental improvements have the potential to concordantly improve a large range of healthful outcomes including health-related quality of life, self-esteem and BMI.</span></p>

Higher sedentary time and lower physical activity (PA) are associated with a poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children. The aims of this study were: (1) to analyze the sedentary time, objectively measured PA levels (light, moderate, vigorous, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)), and HRQoL dimensions (physical well-being, emotional well-being, self-esteem, family, friends, school, and total score) in children; and (2) to examine the association between sedentary time, PA levels, and HRQoL in children separately by sex. A total of 459 children (8.4 ± 0.4 years old, 50.54% males) from 15 schools in Granada (Spain) participated in the study. A tri-axial accelerometer was used to measure PA levels in the children for 7 consecutive days. The Revidierter KINDer Lebensqualitätsfragebogen (KINDL-R) questionnaire was used to determine the children’s HRQoL dimensions. The results showed that males presented more minutes engaged in MVPA than females. Both sedentary time and PA levels were associated with self-esteem and total score (all p < 0.05). In males, moderate and vigorous PA levels were associated with higher HRQoL, whereas light PA was associated with higher HRQoL in females. Future studies should take into account the use of activities with difference intensities in order to increase HRQoL in males and females.

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 Objective: to assess self-esteem (SE) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in ostomized patients due to colorectal cancer. Method: cross sectional research with a quantitative approach. Three instruments were used for data collection: one instrument containing sociodemographic and clinical data, Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire. Results: SE and HRQoL were considered satisfactory. Significant statistical difference was found in the social function domain and marital status, ostomy duration, location, and time; global health scale and ostomy type; cognitive function and pain in the ostomy site. There was a correlation between self-esteem and all the functional scales and the global health scale. Conclusion: knowing SE and HRQoL levels, in addition to the variables that influence them, supports ostomized patients' care planning, rehabilitation, and social autonomy.

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.
