Objectives: This study aimed to assess the association between physical activity and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in Koreans.
Methods: A total of 9,689 adults(≥19 years, 4,036 men) from the Fourth National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(2007-2008) were examined by the International Physical Activity Questionnaraire (IPAQ)-short form and Korean EuroQol-5 Dimension(KEQ-5D).
Results: For the physical activity by IPAQ, ‘Inactive group’ was 75.3%, ‘Minimally active group’ was 23.5%, and ‘Health-Enhancing Physical Activity(HEPA) group’ was 1.2%. The mean HRQOL index was 0.89±0.13. These relations of physical activity and HRQOL remained significant after adjustment for age, sex, smoking, subjective health status, stress, depression, and socioeconomic status variables (Adjusted R² = 0.334).
Conclusions: Physical activity was associated with health-related quality of life. Physically active group had higher health-related quality of life than the inactive group.
