The relationship between quality of life and physical condition in a group of older adults who perform physical activity in Toluca, State of Mexico.
Abstract
Measuring the quality of life (QoL) in older adults (OA) and the relationship with physical fitness (PF) allows us to know how physical activity (PA) influences this perception and helps to propose strategies to improve the conditions of older adults. The objective of the research is to determine the relationship that exists between the levels of QoL and QoL presented by older adults who practice PA. The sample was 153 older adults and data were obtained on QoL, QoL and sociodemographic aspects. The results show a correlation of 0.7 between QoL-QoL in physical health, and 0.8 between QoL-QoL-psychological health. The conclusions are that participants who obtained high scores in QoL also obtain scores higher than 80 points in QoL.
