Abstract
|
|
|
Background: This study assessed the association between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and different levels of occupational, leisure, and commuting physical activity (OPA, LPA, and CPA) in Korean workers aged 20?65 years.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed using data collected from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys VI-2 and VI-3. The study outcome was Euro Quality of life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) defined by the EuroQoL group. OPA was categorized into 3 groups (inactive, light, and active). Multivariate-adjusted logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the association between OPA and HRQoL.
Results: The odds ratio of EQ-5D in active OPA subjects compared to inactive subjects was 0.64 (95% confidence interval: 0.48?0.84). However, no significant association was observed in the relationship between LPA and EQ-5D.
Conclusion: High levels of OPA are associated with decreased risks of HRQoL in Korean workers aged 20?65 years. This finding should be confirmed in a large prospective study.
